Descriptive Writing - page 125

ON YOUR BLOG:

1. Find the scene in the book

Page 125 second paragraph.


2. Make a list of the descriptive words in that scene – minimum of 3, but you should be able to find a lot


-whirling whisper
-flurried
-plummeting


3. Write a short paragraph of why you think that scene and the words Bradbury used were effective in representing fear. This is like the assignment from last night expect with Bradbury.


I think one of the may reasons Ray Bradburys books are so good is because he is so descriptive.
...'and then they were plummeting down to land,one by one,here there'...
the words he uses are very helpful in making a great scene in the readers head, at least for me.
