In paragraph 2 of the passage, what does the word distinctive mean?
Despite the constant demands of his profession, Williams always made time for poetry. In his earliest verses, he adopted the methods of traditional English poets who focused on grand topics and used regular patterns of rhyme. Slowly, however, he developed his own distinctive style in which he used shorter lines, brief stanzas, and little or no punctuation. But perhaps his most important contribution to American poetry was his focus on everyday objects and the lives of common people. In his poems, readers can find fire trucks, cats, flowerpots, plums, babies, construction workers, and refrigerators. By stripping away unnecessary details, Williams tried to “see the thing itself . . . with great intensity and perception.”
