Sentence 7

His sentence:

And then the dispossessed were drawn west- from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas families, tribes, dusted out, tractored out.
by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath

The list separated by a hyphen goes into deeper detail to show the wide range and the number of people effected.

My sentence:

And then the bugs were drawn to the light- from the yard, the pond, the corners; from skinny to fat misquitoes, nats, rammed the light, swarmed the light.
