Which description of the setting reveals that Turner is
most comfortable on the beach?
Ahead of him, the beach was covered with stones, their
hard outsides rubbed off and smoothed so that they
glowed as the waves gathered them up and down. The
granite ledges were streaked by a thousand shades of gray
and silver, separated by slices of pink quartz that glowed
like happiness. And the pines! The pines threw their roots
around the shore's boulders, grappling with the living
rocks and wrestling them into position.
