The writer chooses very specific vocabulary and figurative language, to lead the readers towards the main idea that they want to convey in the story about the place or the people.

But at the moment, I watched with horror as one of the chapandaz (riders) fell off his saddle and was trampled under a score of hooves. His body was tossed and hurled in the stampede like a rag doll, finally rolling to a stop when the melee (a confused struggle or fight among several people) moved on. He twitched once and lay motionless, his legs bent at unnatural angles, a pool of his blood soaking through the sand.

The grass amongst which I stood was taller than I was. I had never been so close to grass before. It towered over me and all around me, each blade tattooed with tiger-skins of sunlight. It was knife-edged, a dark and wicked green, thick as a forest and alive with grasshoppers that chirped and chattered and leapt through the air like monkeys.

The phrase “dark and wicked green” shows that the green color of the grass has an ominous and sinister quality to it. This suggests that there might be something unsettling or threatening about the grass itself.
