Highlight key images in this passage the windows were ajar and gleaming white

gleaming white against the fresh grass outside

blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling

rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea

Explanation:

''gleaming white against the fresh grass outside'' in describing the image of the windows that are considered as the subject of the sentence. It is describing how the look with adjectives such as gleaming and white and it is describing also how opposite is the grass outside that is fresh.

The third sentence here is describing the curtains that are making a shadow.
