Descriptive Essay On A Forest

Decent Essays
When initially closing my eyes it was difficult to picture a forest, considering different scenarios began popping into my head. It was hard to put myself in the position where I actually felt like I no longer was in a classroom. In a matter of what felt like minutes, the vivid and still image of a forest finally came into place, and the very first thing I noticed was what appeared to be small glittering fairies fluttering around. At a closer examination I realized these fairies were actually light rays playing tricks on my eyes, and the bright forest was completely alone. High above me was a canopy made from the trees and even though the sun wasn’t visible, there was a level of comfort in knowing that the forest was sheltered by branches. …show more content…
I didn’t have a huge reaction but I did yell out, “oh my gosh!”, before I knew it. That triggered the bear to turn its huge head towards me, stand up, and raise its claws. It was enormous! Its claws were literally two inches long, and he had pitch black eyes. It started growling menacingly, but for some reason, it didn’t make me afraid, so all I could do was stare at him in awe. If bears could talk, I’m positive he was yelling, “Why are you still staring at me!?” To get out of this situation I just slowly walked away, while maintaining eye contact with him. Their wasn’t really much I could do, because running away would just make it worse, and throwing objects at him would be disastrous. A few minutes later I was back on track, with the bear way behind me, minding its business once …show more content…
The white light, led me to an impressive, and shocking view. I could finally see the clear, blue skies, along with the sun. I was no longer under the protection of the branches and now more than ever is when I wanted to know the reason the path brought me here. That questioning didn’t take long, because right in front of me stood a gray, stone wall the size of the trees. It seemed to have been established years ago, considering the fact there was green vines all over it. I had an instant reflex to see what was over the wall, and at the first touch the stone turned out to be cold. Usually stone is rough, so it gave it a sandy, and somehow powdery texture. It left my hands dirty with a light-brown colored dust, but it didn’t stop me from continuing to climb the wall in the midst of the heat. Climbing the wall, was not as difficult as I assumed, so using the vines I went on top and just admired the scenery. It was almost like the walls were in charge of not letting any noise through, because almost as soon as I peeked my head over, I could hear children laughing, the sounds of pots being banged, and other adults having enlightened discussions about their day. It was loud from every corner, but nowhere did I hear anger or frustration, sadness or devastation. Everyone was content with what they had, even though the people all seemed to have very little. I didn’t even have to think twice; I

    PM 11:37, October 6, 2015. After I came out from library, I walked on Bascom Hill. I pulled out my earphones and tried to feel the environment. Contrast to bright and noisy State Street and Wisconsin State Capitol, where I could see in distant, where I was covered with darkness and silence. There was a just a little light from streetlight, and only yellow and green leaves are glowing near that streetlight As I sit down next to biggest tree and feel the cushion of lawn, I found out there are not many things that I can observe here.…

The firefighters had to use the primitive transportation, lack of communication and firefighting equipment to put out the fires.…

    Sometimes I dream that I am again standing at the pathway of the Burkley house. The chimney billowed with smoke, and the magnolia bushes in full bloom; like they once did in that spring time air which curled around your every movement. I dream of again clomping my over-sized shoes against the ever twisting stone path, catching rain drops and petals in my unkempt hair. I will not lie; I do long for the Burkley house, for the essence of my youth still stays trapped in those lengthy hallways. I often forget the blizzards that struck, the lighting that cast us in darkness, the people I met.…

    Outside, the city had become a shapeless, billowing cloud with no edge behind it, while the town itself seemed to have molded and crumbled, like my insides. The wind was sharp against my face as I sprinted through the parkland. Families lying under trees and patches of green blurred my vision. The sky was a concrete grey, and I could see trees and steep hills which faded into the skyline with the rest of the world.…

    The film’s budget for special effects, costumes, sets, etc., was exceptionally greater than that of the theatrical production, so its overall aesthetic is much more polished and credible. The whole experience is immersive and the visuals impressively believable to behold. The overall effect, regardless of the magical elements, is much more realistic, and the setting looks like part of the real world, not a fictional land. Taking this into consideration, it is not surprising that the film had to alter the original plot to lighten the mood, as it is easy to forget that what is taking place in the film is not real. Its ending leaves the audience with much to process, but it is a great deal more positive than the theatrical ending.…

    In Allan Johnson’s book The Forest and the Trees, he notions that in order to understand the concept of social life, we have to not only look at the individual, but also at the environment the individual is placed and how they interact and create social systems. Johnson explains that “a forest is simply a collection of individual trees, but it is more than that. It is also a collection of trees that exist in a particular relation to one another, and you cannot tell what that relation is by looking at the individual trees.” (Johnson 2014) By using the imagery of the forest and trees, he shows how social systems and people influence each other.…

    My most valuable possession was my house. It wasn’t anything fancy or exquisite, but it was there that I had spent the precious moments, however few, with my beloved dad. I remember that we would spend hours playing, running around the arched, brightly lit corridors. On either side, I recall the large mahogany doors which would fluidly open to reveal ancient, chestnut-brown rooms with antique, twin bed frames which were confined within. I will never forget the uncanny gargoyles that were suspended onto the wall behind, the very same monsters who would assault my sleep and curse me with countless numbers of sleepless nights.…
