Extraterrestrial skies

I opted to conduct my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on the Emergency Preparedness poster from the Ad Council. The print ad or poster in question shows a town that a tornado has ripped through, with markers showing where members of a hypothetical family are located. The message of this particular ad piece is quite simple, in the event of a serious emergency; know where your family is. This in itself speaks to a need in all of us to be connected to our loved ones, especially in a time of…

My breath is calm, my pulse low. I am standing at the edge of the 50 meter pool. The sun is setting and the sky in my back is still red, but I look already into a dark blue if I lift my head. With the light breeze blowing around my naked feet’s I start to shiver. With all the visitors gone, it is time for me to swim my laps. I try to clear my mind and prepare myself for the distance I will swim today. Pyramid training which equals the distance of 3.900 Meters (= 2.5 Miles). It means I will start…

Abu Dhabi desert, the view amazed me, it was so elegant and mesmerizing that for an instant I forgot about the sweltering heat that penetrated my skin. The sky looked like lashes of water color, with spots of red and blue, and at some points they joined to form a shade of indigo and lilac. There were many spotted clouds above, that filled the sky with their pure white puffiness, but it was the vivid sun that I could not take my brown eyes off. It looked like a gold coated globe covered with…

It was always the eyes that got me. I could walk in that forest forever, getting lost in millions of shades of green and tree bark brown, with raging fireflies floating around, lighting up every corner. A forest of fireflies. The eyes, the twin moles on his cheek, the soft brown hair which he likes to keep short even though he’s adorable when it’s long, the straight, large nose; all so common to others, but more important than anything in the world to me. It’s weird how realities can change so…

An Unforgettable Experience Waking up from my sleep hearing the melodies from natural sounds like birds chirping, roosters crowing outside my window, listening to the sound of the leaves rustling as the wind blows through the trees while sunshine caresses my face. A calming tropical breeze that sifts through the kitchen that reaches my bedroom. Another perfect day in the Caribbean. As I walk toward the living room to start my day. I turn on CBS News and proceed to the bathroom. While…

The Eyes of the Ocean The sea, a luminous gray, spills across the bottom of the picture. The brooding sky, like an echo of the sea, spreads itself across the top portion of the photograph. Between the two of them, a town huddles in shadow. The viewer finds herself unable to look away from the photograph. There seems to be some dark truth in it. “Invisible Borders,” a color photograph by Mae Kelley, was taken from a boat about a mile off shore. The perspective captures a portion of the town that…

Creative Writing I needed to escape hell and it was now, or never. Within seconds my father was already on to me, the one who created this miserable hell, had me in his grasp this whole time. The brass bells banged and clanged across the courtyard. Guards, on high alert, stood at each exit creating an impenetrable wall. I was surrounded and there was no way out of hell. I had to resort to desperate measures, it involved jumping off a five-storey mansion into a bale of hay. A die-or-do moment…

It was just an ordinary day at Tropicana City, the sun was shining and there were no clouds in sight. Tropicana is a beautiful city that is by the ocean. About 10-15 miles away from the shore, there is a very dark and gloomy island that nobody has ever been to. Although Tropiana is a city of beauty, there is a gloomy part of town that no one wants to visit. I went to the library with my twin brother,Nathan, to do our homework. I was working on my math homework and my brother was reading a book…

May, blue sky have hung a fireball sun, the clouds seem burned by the sun, and disappeared without a trace. The weather was hot like death, the wind has never appeared, and the air stick together seems touchable. It is always a great time for mountain hiking, the feel of conquering a mountain, the sense of accomplishment is so satisfied. Conquering the mountain is not easy, but the trip of conquering will gave the most precious experience. It was the first day of May, the sky still sleeping,…

concrete that is coated on top of it. The trail is marked at a mile long and your destination is a high top view of your surrounding area. You see the sun setting behind a tall hill of trees that are miles away, and the eagles flying throughout the sky. As you look over part of the world, you realize the world is truly a wonderful…
