Christmas lights

My ears were popping and I was starting to feel light headed as we climbed higher and higher toward Red Rocks Amphitheater. Red Rocks is right outside the edge of the hipster, pot smoking, mile high city Denver. I was going to see the dirty rocking, alternative, up in coming band Cage the Elephant. When you are first entering Red Rocks park everything drastically changes. The sky starts to turn a darker more vivid blue as everything else turns a tint of red form the dust. The mountains around…

shortages of supplies and the blackouts are increasing. In addition, the characters are affected in the setting because, without lights, they won’t be able to survive. Jeanne DuPrau states, “...they were reminded of something they preferred not to think about: that someday the lights of the city might go out and never come back on” (Pg. 5). The city of Ember’s lights constantly flicker out now, and the people are beginning to realize the danger that lies in the future. Ember is a dystopian…

The chapter book I have chosen to write about is Christmas in Camelot by Mary Pope Osborne, which is a part of the Magic Tree House series. This series is about two kids: Jack and Annie, who find a magical, time traveling tree house. In this book, they receive an invitation to come to Camelot for Christmas, but when they get there, no one is celebrating Christmas. They find out that a spell has been cast on Camelot that took all the joy and celebration from the people and three Knights of the…

The unforgettable Christmas Ah, good old Christmas, time for cheer and listening to "Jingle Bells" blaring through the radio in every store and the convivial event of lights and large Christmas trees overwhelming the surroundings.

he won’t hear that will he? My throat feels sore. I’m keeping my tears away. Mummy said think of happy things. Think of Christmas. I like Christmas. I like toys. I can hear him downstairs. He’s banging things. It’s making me jump. I’ve let out a whimper. Please don’t hear, please don’t hear.…

snow that I must venture through in order to arrive at my final, much awaited destination, which was my Grandpa’s house for my family’s Christmas party. Just the thought going to my Grandpa Ray’s house sparked past Christmas memories that I would cherish forever. For instance, every year my Grandpa and I would go shopping together hunting for the perfect Christmas presents for each of my beloved family members. After an entire day's worth of shopping, both of us would spend relentless hours…

The enchanting skyline that travels for miles and miles; encaptivating lights that reach the stars illuminate the dark sky; melodies of busy streets and hustling people fill the air, all enwrapped by snow. This is the city that never sleeps. 8.5 million of us shine to enliven the streets of New York City, doing our best to last through the dark. These lights range anywhere from the holiday string lights to the billboards that clutter Times Square. No two are the same. All powered specific…

Stave 1--Dismal Gray seemed to shroud the entire section of this story, hanging low like the mist over England. Although bleakness is not the main theme in A Christmas Carol, it is certainly present and important. As evidenced by the author’s word choice when he was adding description to the Christmas Eve night: it was cold, bleak, biting weather, and he could hear the people in the court outside….candles were flaring in windows of the windows of the neighboring offices, like ruddy smears…

First Snow by Leonid Afremov begins with a road lined with street lights on both sides. The road is very shiny looking as if it is iced over with the street lights reflecting back up into the night sky off of the road. On each side of the road there are vibrant colored trees with a layer of white covering the ground as if it was snowing. The leaves on the trees seem to meet in the middle of the road overtop of the street lights. Deeper into the painting, there are two people walking down the…
