Look at this example from George Orwell’s book, 1984. Instead of telling the readers that the outside was cold and the mood was grim, he SHOWS us the setting. Look for the imagery and sensory details from this excerpt.
“Outside, even through the shut window-pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shinthe sking and y a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The black mustachioed face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston’s own.”
