So this descriptive essay thing....

When the assignment was first told to us, I immediately thought of this spot in my kitchen that I love to be/sit in. Then I started the essay and it just sucks. I tried it again and it's better now, but after reading all of these posts, I'm wondering if I should change my topic...maybe instead do something about my travels such as walking through the tibetan sector of New Delhi w/o an adult/ only with a friend, one of my best friends from France, or a close guy friend.

what do ya think?

Essay's and such

So, I wrote my first essay about the process of making flan and how all the different ingredients mirror aspects of my life. For this one I want to do either,

-An essay about people watching on the Ramblas in Barcelona. I have a really specific moment in mind with lot's of interesting characters to describe, this one could be fun

-An Ethiopia essay- I have a lot of different moments to talk about but I'm thinking of either a crazy market place scene or talking about the first time I took my class around the busy town and set them free with digital cameras.

I'm pretty positive I want to do a travel essay for this one, but I have so many different moments!

OR I could write about the peaceful protest in India, or the Dia de San Juan Fire Festival, maybe a scuba diving essay? Just give me your thoughts!

time warp.

The idea that a person could take the event of a moth burning, and turn it into something vivid and brilliant, inspired me, so therefore the general idea for my essay will be to take something so miniscule and plain that most people would overlook it; and then transform this something, (through description) into something vivid and breathtaking. I am not really sure what to write on, maybe an event or an object, or just some abstract fictional rendering of either. No matter what it turns out to be, I hope to play to all of the reader’s senses in a way that they do not blatantly see what I am trying to do. I like the idea of stretching out each second and making the reader think of something happening in slow motion, it gives him/her the option of slowing down and absorbing each detail in its fullest.

Ideas on Description...

1. Describe my best friend. How she changed over time. What I think it means. (Even this sounds lame to me)
2. Someone on the street. I think it would be interesting because I wouldn't know them so it wouldn't be biased.

Not really sure what else. I can't think of a place or event to describe at the moment. Ideas??

River Essay

I am looking to transform a past essay from Lit, the "transcendentalist essay". I wrote about an experience i had river rafting and my relationship to nature through water. I am going to focus more on the actually journey of the trip and traveling through the water. I hope to explain my adaptation and connection to nature, that lacked before this significant trip i went on. I don't have the copy on file at the moment so i can't post the draft directly, but maybe i could get some input or opinions? Could this work?

This is from Taylor

I really couldn't think of anything to write about so I think I'll just describe a strange night. It was at my family's ranch but there wasn't a sound that one night. Something about that night made me feel calm and the dog in the kennel beside me stopped crying when I turned it towards the part of the sky that I was looking at. I think that this should be o.k because it was really unusual.

Descriptive Essay

For this assignment, I plan on simply putting more description into my narrative essay. This essay being about fly fishing and the importance of nature, tradition, and living off the land and how much I cherish these things.

Descriptive essay

i was thinking that i might write on living in Sweden. How my family was, i could have it take place in a ttpical day and go it to detain about what i saw and did during that day.
let me know what you think.

a change of mind.

When the green leaves of summer would begin turn, so would my mood. I never used to be able to appreciate fall, it was my least favorite of seasons. This year, for the first time ever, I feel differently. Finally, I am beginning to see the effortless beauty of the season. This essay will descriptively approach fall; I will admire it for all that it is, analyze my past remorse, and remark on every aspect of why this season has gained my love. By using each of my senses, I will put into words what makes fall so effortless and beautiful. The challenge here is , obviously, to not turn this essay into a cliche, and find some way to make the subject interesting even though this is an essay that has been done by others thousands of times before.

Descriptive Essay

One of the most intense moments for me is before a hockey game. I want to go into great detail about everything I feel physically and mentally before a game. Going hand in hand with what I feel, I want to write out the steps of my actions that help me not explode into a could of dust in the locker room. I want to start out with my feelings and end with them. Nothing will be described other than those few minutes when I am sitting with all of my gear on, skates tight, only concentrating on my breathing.

Whacha' think?

Descriptive Essay

For my descriptive essay I think I will write about the alpine swing at the top of ingram. This area has so much to describe aside from the swing let alone the swing itself. I will write about the whole process of hiking up and the unique perspective of Telluirde from the top. I can also describe the feeling of swinging through the air 40 feet above the ground, looking around at the entrancing rocky mountains. Then of course there is the waterfall, that is a magnificent spectical in itself, that rages just beneath you as you sore through the air. I don't know I think that it will be a very easy but good topic for a descriptive essay since it is one of the most captivating spots in Telluride, possibly in Colorado.

Essay #2

My first essay was on brown dog. But this next essay i want to be about riding the gondola. Im going to start with a discription of riding the gondola and try to connect it to getting off at the station of my adolecense and starting adulthood, or childhood in telluride and how we have evolved into the people we are today. Im not sure yet though im going to start it with getting on and end it with getting off in Mountain Village. Any Suggestions?

दुब्स्तेप?

Honestly, I have no idea what I am going to write about for my second essay. I was thinking about writing something along the lines of creating dubstep, and having it be based around incorporating different sounds and beats and having it be a metaphor to different aspects of my life. By intertwining sound loops (experiences in my life) I can create somethink unique and significant to me, because i made it.

Descriptive Essay

Description....I don't really have a set in stone idea for this, but I was thinking earlier that it might be cool describing what it is like to listen to a song with an extremely good sound system. I would probably have to pick one song specifically so that I could work towards trying to explain the feelings i get from a certain lyric, or base line, or part of the instrumental that really caught my attention. Like I said, I'm not entirely postitive if this could be turned into an essay, but if you think it's an idea I should go with, please let me know!

Descriptive Essay

For my essay I am going to write about ta car crash i was in when i was very young. It accured when i was about six or seven years old. I was in Cindy Smith's Subraru, sitting in the back with Woody and Dana. Cindy and my sister Emily were sitting in the front. Anyways a couple of cars behind us there was this women who was driving her car. She fell asleep while driving and bumped into the person in front of her who then bumped into us. I remember vividly being dragged out of the car by a fireman. HE asked me if i was okay and what hurt on me. After being put in the ambulance i remember the doctor in the hospital gave me a teddy bear that i still have.

A Descriptive Essay

Here's an idea. I can write a descriptive essay about World of Warcraft. Yes this is kind of lame, but I think it can work. I will try to make it so even someone who doesn't play it can enjoy it. I see great possibilities in description for it. It may just be a computer game, but the events that can happen in that virtual world are pretty cool and have potential to engage a reader.

Esssay

So yea my essay is about hilling which gives me a lot of room to decribe our beautiful surroundings in this town. All the flowers, mountains and lush green forests are a huge part of the "hilling" process.

For instance, write about running down a mountain in quick, sporatic sentences to represent the quick, sporatic movements in hilling. Then have a jump where time slows down, and something like a bird catches my eye or the hanging moss on the pine trees, and go into detail for the next couple sentences decribing everything around me, then land.

Description Essay

So I wrote my first essay about my experience working at Trail West Young Life Camp. I think that I am going to go off of that and describe a certain incident that took place at camp. I am going go describe how this incident changed me as a person and changed my time at the camp I was serving at. I think I will be able to describe the setting and how it happened very throughly, so hopefully it will go well :)
