Descriptive Essay First Draft
Summer is full of excitement and activities. For me, the days of summer in Brooklyn from June to August are disgusting and suffocating. Every day, there is the ongoing battle against the summer heat. As a result, people continuously perspire and try to catch their breath. They feel lethargic and don’t want to do anything. Some prefer to settle back at home where there’s AC. Others want to take this opportunity to go on vacation or experience new activities.

In the play area, the kids were racing each other to the tree. The winner sprinted toward the goal like the Flash. Compared him to the other kids, they had the speed of the tortoise. I heard them bickering and giggling. There were two other kids playing with each other. The ferocious kid chased after the cowardly kid around the slides.

I could hear the sounds of the ball being smacked against the concrete wall. SMACK, SMACK, SMACK. Those sounds kept on repeating in a cycle. I get exhausted from watching

    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.
