Stepping out of my truck, I pound my right foot on the shaking, sandy, dusty, ground.

What would the producers think of next? Shaking while dancing (like an earthquake), wind (by bringing in dozens of fans) and the biggest possible element could be snow.

personification of the wind in the setting serves as an antagonist and/or bully towards Lutie Johnson. In paragraph one through three, the author uses imagery such as personification to emphasize how chaotic and dangerous the wind is in the setting.
