Introduction to Sentence Length Variety
It was a bright, crisp autumn morning. The leaves fluttered gently to the ground, painting the pathway with hues of amber and scarlet. Birds chirped melodiously in the trees, signalling the start of a new day. The town was still quiet, with only a few early risers stirring. People moved slowly, each absorbed in their own thoughts. The air was filled with a sense of calm and anticipation as the sun rose higher, casting golden rays over the rooftops.

Analysis of Sentence Length Impact
The city was alive with movement. Cars honked loudly as they navigated the busy streets. People hurried past, their faces a blur of determination. In contrast, a solitary café sat quietly on the corner, its windows reflecting the bustling scene outside. Inside, the aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, inviting passersby to pause and enjoy a moment of calm amidst the chaos.
1.
How does the variation in sentence length between the descriptions of the city and the café affect the tone of the paragraph?
