Look in detail at this extract from lines 8 to 18 of the Source: How does the writer use language here to describe the effects of the weather?

The opening paragraph of the given section consists of one, long-running sentence. This is done to reflect the forward and ongoing movement of the coach. The adjective ‘exposed’ and the noun ‘force’, evoke the idea of vulnerability, danger, and how little control man has over the power of nature. The strong use of sibilance in the phrase ‘shelter from his own shoulders, while the dispirited horses plodded sullenly’, helps to emphasise the hard, biting quality of the weather. The simile, ‘rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man’, suggests the coach is lurching haphazardly, and that the driver has no control of the exact direction in which the coach travels. In addition, the writer powerfully evokes the metaphor of how the coach wheels ‘creaked and groaned’, in order to further anthropomorphise the coach, highlighting that it has a mind of its own and therefore that the coach driver is powerless to direct its exact course.
