    displayed on 9/11. To bring across the message writing styles such as descriptive sentences, diction, pathos, and ethos are used. Initially, descriptive sentences were used to develop Burke’s piece. Descriptive sentences include immense detail to help develop the piece. One example of descriptive is “Now injured and bloodied, the four office workers climbed out from beneath the debris”. This excerpt displays descriptiveness with “Now injured and bloodied” it makes it so the audience can picture four adults battered, bruised, and cut up climbing towards safety. One can picture ruble and a mess of clutter around them as they “climbed out from beneath the debris”. To illustrate, descriptive writing is “breathing dust, they gazed about in the pitch of darkness”.

    This is the last set, this is the last set. I stand in the blistering sun with the rest of the marching band on the last day of band camp. Everyone is hot and sweaty as a beaming ray of sun hits our skin. We all have shorts, a tank top, a hat, and a pinning on. I stare at everybody and see them slouched over and eyes drooping like a beagles ears. My sneaker softly touch the concrete ground of the parking lot football field. I snap into focus when I hear a shout at the top of a metal structure.…

    By: Eastlyn Koons After re-reading all of the previous stories, I picked the story that had what I thought, the best examples of descriptive writing. Putting all these thoughts in account, I chose“The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. All throughout the story, there is so much description. The first page is a great example. I do not have enough space to put down the whole entire first page but I can give examples. Examples such as, “The flower garden is prim, the house a gleaming white, and the…

    My knees are shaking, feeling like they are about to collapse. I’m not sure if my heart is pounding because I am nervous or excited. I swear my eardrums are about to burst from the screaming and cheering from the crowd. My right leg is beginning to cramp from holding my bike up while sitting in one place for the last 20 minutes. As the big, metal gates slowly open, I balance myself back on my bike and begin to slowly petal forward. The crowd of what it seemed like a thousand people, along with…

    Grateful My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day. I woke up early and put on my pink skirt…

    I hear a small buzzing as a small black insect whirls around my head twice then glides over to the smooth blue wall. No bigger than a pea, my companion is a dark fly who must have breezed in through my open window on the soft April winds. As my glance meanders from my blank computer screen to my new friend I slowly make a realization and a small smile forms on the corner of my lips. That seemingly insignificant bug and I have a lot in common. I too was once but a fly on the wall. Upon entering…
