Because of this, it is imperative for details of figurative and descriptive language to be incorporated and to further enhance a narrative, as it provides the reader with a more intimate perspective and relationship with the characters.

Book 9.5- The Psithyrismos Falaina’s Attack “We were still escaping from the wrath of our discouraged adversary, the Cyclops, and our ship drifted on the sea after being showered by a massive amount of boulders.

shealter. But when she was able to have some free time, she loved to play hide and go seek and run to one to another to see who could run the fastest with her siblings near the fields.

Spring Time Lewis Grizzard one said, “Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” As winter ends and Spring begins, the wildlife comes out to greet us once more, the weather becomes a pleasure to be in, and fun outside activities begin again. Spring is the most beautiful season of them all; and, I wish it could stay all year. Yawning and hungry from months of hibernation, stinky bears rush to the lake to rinse off the winter days and catch a bite to eat. They…

It was cold outside. Stars were falling, ice and snow, swirling little pearls that were ripping holes into the darkness of the vast, vast sky. His naked feet felt cold against the frozen ground. Swift like a storm he danced through the night, like the shadow, that he was once taught to be. (Forced to be.) The streets were empty, everyone seemed to be sleeping in their beds, far from cold, far from worry. He was the only person left; The only one that was still willing to walk. Perhaps, he…

sunsets and sunrises. The lights I've seen behind the clouds. People don't think to look up any more. Apart from farmers and sailors most seem to have forgotten how to read the weather by observing the sky.

They won’t be able to hide it much longer.” “Is he talking about that lot Alistair calls the ruling class?” “Martyn told me they call themselves the…

Cambridge. I went downstairs to remind mom of where we were going and how long we were going to be out. She handed me fifty dollars for whatever we needed, but my dad on the other hand, just sat on his chair drinking away his life while he tried to find a new job on the newspaper ads. Mom shook her head and said, “be careful.” to us, kissing us on the head. My brother and I said our goodbyes to our parents before we were off. For some odd reason, mom looked more nervous about us leaving than…

love to see the sunset, the beautiful orange sky in the horizon. I have a dream, a very big dream, that one day I will see the earth like the sun seeing the earth. Every day I worked hard to chasing my dream, until I forget everything. "Love", a thing that everyone mention, they said that it can make happiness come to you. I became someone who disagree with that. For me, happiness is when I can see the world from above, from the very high place, from the sky where the sun illuminates its light…

Isabelle had destroyed Sarah’s project about their family tree. Sarah had included an item that was…

“Over one year the Sun appears to us on Earth to follow a route through twelve-star constellations we call the Zodiac. If there is this dark star—or whatever it is because at this stage we don't know—coming in, then the evidence points to its current location at the feet of Virgo.” Karl paused to check his supervisor's reaction. “That's where we would see it if we could. It might be a brown dwarf.” Michael raised his eyebrows and frowned. The table gave a threatening creak as he shifted his…
