In my book I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior the best thing is the description that the author goes into when he is describing the setting. It helps you paint a picture of the setting in your mind. "Light brown and white sand bordered the emerald sea. It would've been the prefect setting for a vacation resort." (90) This quote helps you paint a picture of where they are station  in Somalia. This is really the only place in the city that had not been torn apart by civil war. "Because of the tannic acid from the pine and other vegetation, both the Little Satilla and Lake Grace are so black on a good day you can't see your feet in the water" (11) This is a great describing quote because you can just picture not being able to see you feet on a good day.
