today in english class, my favourite class this year, mr giddings, my favourite teacher this year, had us do a simple assignment due to the shortcomings of many of my classmates in using descriptive language in our pov poetry assignment (which i will actually post later). he told us to pick one of the senses, and an ordinary boring everyday event, and portray it using descriptive language. he gave us 3 minutes, and then we shared what we had written. here is what i wrote exactly from my notebook
Traffic
The four wheeled monsters slowly glide by, their will controlled by their overseers foot. Some giants, some hungry beats with seemingly unharnessable power dominated by the whim of some executive executor, his hands and feet defining the action of his unthinking underling as if it were mandate from some plane of higher existence. Some of these reigned beasts seem more pronounced than others, standing as a jester sent to appease a royal court with more time than one could spend. Others seem as if camoflauged (sp?), much like a peon scurrying through the market, merely finding his way through the day.
end. feel free to comment
