5 AnswersMythology & Folklore1 decade agoAny other improvements I could make?
Here's the first version- (I know it didn't really change by much)
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201010...
The instructions again:
Read your paragraph to a friend or family member and ask them for input. Ask them what they enjoy about your paragraph, what imagery it evokes, and if you can make any improvements. Then, using their feedback, improve your paragraph.
Here's the new version:
I briskly strolled through the tranquil woods behind our dilapidated Victorian house whose colors were fading from a light coffee to a more of a cream color. The ground was blanketed in a variety of different tones from pumpkin orange to the deep crimson of a perfect apple. The air smelled like home, the fresh fragrance of a burning candle and the cinnamon from the pie in the oven. A squirrel danced in front of my path startling me; it was followed by a larger second one. The two were locked in a small fight, both emitting high-pitched growling sounds that sounded quite intimidating. The larger one was threatening to overtake the slighter at any second, for they always fight around this time of year. It was a peculiar season, but I couldn’t have loved it more.
3 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoShort paragraph on imagery, help me improve?
I strolled through the brisk woods behind our dilapidated Victorian house from the early eighteenth century. The ground was blanketed in a variety of different colors from pumpkin to the deep crimson of a perfect apple. The air smelled like home, the fresh fragrance of a burning candle and the cinnamon from the pie in the oven. A squirrel danced in front of my path startling me; it was followed by a larger second one. The two were locked in a small fight. The larger one was threatening to overtake the slighter at any second, for they always fight around this time of year. It was a peculiar season, but I couldn’t have loved it more.
The reason I need help is because I need input, so I can improve. Here are the instructions:
Now think about this vivid scene and the picture it created in your mind. Think about the way the words and sentences were used to create such a vivid image for you. Using this as an example, create your own paragraph that evokes imagery in the same manner. When you are done, share your paragraph with a friend or family member.
Read your paragraph to a friend or family member and ask them for input. Ask them what they enjoy about your paragraph, what imagery it evokes, and if you can make any improvements. Then, using their feedback, improve your paragraph.
Remember to include all of your paragraphs and an account of the input from your friend or family member.

3 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat do 'ya think of my poem? What should I name it?
Spiders spin their webs
Mocking the gods
The Fates cut the threads
Control of the life
Subject to none
Sleep before Death
The Dreams become everlasting Nightmares
Eternal Sleep despised by the Sky
Protected in the arms of the Night
Watching,
Waiting,
The Sun can see all.
4 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoIs this story good? What do you think I should change?
Seth is the boy who must fend for himself during the harsh hours of the day. He attends the miserable prison known as high school ignoring the knowing glances from suspicious peers. Seth, the boy with the overgrown ebony hair and eyes like the heavens on a stormy afternoon, avoids the glances of overly considerate teachers. He sits at the back of the classroom and attempts to obscure himself amongst the rows of bookshelves. Seth, who is avoided come time to rest and socialize during the hour of lunch. He is the one picking up his belongings among the dusty parking lot at dismissal. Seth is the only one to walk the miles to his home just to evade sitting on an insufferable mustard-toned engine filled with his tormentors.
He is the boy who arrives home to console his anguished mother who cannot control the hours she sobs. She is the one with no companions because all of her high school friends resent her child. He is the teenager who tries to be successful in school even though he knows it’s hopeless. He is the older brother who hoists his baby sister on to his shoulders and watches many of his favorite childhood movies with while she is the one who is naïve and loves her brother because of who he is not what he is. He is the one who assumes the role of the father in his family. He is the one who puts up with the hardships of his family. He is the one with the broken smile and the tears held inside. Seth is the one who is daily tormented internally because he is the one who has a boyfriend.
This is obviously a little story I wrote focusing on the homophobic tendencies of people. Yes, I know everyone is not like that, but for this story I needed to focus on the bad; I added some happiness in there too like his baby sister (who I named Cecilia) and his boyfriend.
I used the excessive pronoun "He" in the second paragraph, so I could make it seem more dramatic when I got to the end. It was supposed to be short almost written in a "poetic" way.
Do you guys like it?
