Provide a model answer for the following question.
You are a year 11 student of English.
Question:
Read the following extract from "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Write a response to the following question: How does Harper Lee use imagery to convey the setting of Maycomb?
Extract: "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."
