Sentence A Day - Sentence 7

Cutting For Stone:
Or how about the strawberry angioma, the watermelon stomach, the apple core lesion of cancer, the peau d'orange appearance of breast cancer...and that's just fruits!

Me:
Or how about the soft crunch of shrimp, the crackle of fried rice, the stickiness of peanut butter, the juicy flesh of an orange...and that's just food!

Verghese uses polysyndeton to create flow and a sense of excitement.
