Three specific details that seem effective:
- "Holding her neck hard against the floor of the coop, I take a breath, set something deep and hard inside my heart, and twist her head."
- "I turn her head on her floppy neck again, and again, corkscrewing her breathing tube, struggling to end the gasping."
- " My anger and fear center like a tornado on having to kill this hen."
The main idea of the excerpt is that she's angry and afraid to tell her children about the divorce she's going to have from her husband, and she shows this anger and fear when she's killing the chickens. She uses a lot of descriptive words to show her anger and emotion in killing the chickens. I think she has a good writing style because her descriptive words attract the reader to continue reading more of her essay.
