The Word Plum

In Helen Chasin's "The Word Plum" she describes through words, the image, and taste of a plum being eaten. She uses language filled with adjectives and describes the moment of bliss when eating a plum. She uses this language to make a plum seem like a piece of heaven. The way this is written reminds me of an advertisement, or some form of persuasion. After reading this I can honestly say I wanted to go out and buy a bag full of plums.
