Write About the Significance of Descriptive Language as It Is Used by Sebastian Faulks in Birdsong

I
think
that
the
most
significant
pieces
of
description
in
Birdsong
are
those
of
 war, human
suffering
and
degradation,
and
I
think
that
Faulks
uses
them
to
 shock, and
also
to
tell
part
of
the
story
that
could
only
be
achieved
in
this
way.
I
 think that
it
allows
the
reader
to
create
imagery
whilst
reading,
and
I
feel
that
in
 the case
of
characters,
such
as
the
creating
of
the
character
of
Elizabeth,
it
 enforces an
opinion
and
emotion
on
that
character.
However,
in
the
case
of
the
 introduction of
Stephen,
I
feel
that
it
is
not
what
Faulks
includes,
but
what
he
 does not
include
that
most
builds
the
character
of
Stephen
Wraysford.
I
think
 that another
reason
why
Faulks
is
able
to
use
description
in
Birdsong
to
such
 success is
the
extremely
effective
way
in
which
he
contrasts
descriptions
of
 things such
as
War,
and
Death
with
the
other
descriptions
of
the
more
mundane
 and simple
things.


Faulks
has
written
rather
perceptively
about
the
life
of
a
single,
professional
 woman, Elizabeth.
I
think
that
the
description
he
uses
in
writing
about
her
life,
 and the
simple
things
that
she
does,
is
really
very
effective.
I
think
that
it
creates
 a more
simple
and
more
relatable
character,
and
I
think
that
it
allows
the
reader
 to see
past
the
war
connotations
of
the
book,
and
understand
it
at
a
more
deep
 and personal
level,
because
the
things
that
the
readers
see
Elizabeth
doing,
such
 as struggling
with
her
work
and
love
lives
are
things
that
many
others
will
have
 experienced as
well.
I
think
that
a
passage
in
which
Faulks
does
this
 exceptionally well
is
this
one:

She
had
grown
accustomed
to
people’s
responses
to
her.
Many
of
them
assumed
 that there
was
a
polar
choice
between
marriage
and
work
and
that
the
more
 enthusiastically she
embraced
her
job,
the
more
vigorously
she
must
have
rejected
 the idea
of
children
or
male
partnership.
Elizabeth
had
given
up
trying
to
explain.

She
had
taken
a
job
because
she
