English - Introduction to Creative writing

 For English, we have been set a range of tasks to complete one of which was writing a paragraph without the use of saw, taste, felt, and hear.  

 The sent of seawater lingered through the air, The water crashed onto the surface and retreated back out to sea as the sand absorbed the last of the water. As I witnessed the sunshine and shimmer on the light blue ocean the seagulls squirmed and squealed to each other fighting over the few bits of food they could find, the sand pushed against me with the guidance of a gush of wind. An elegant rush of flavor hit my mouth.

A Simile is a figure of speech that compares two things also highlights the similarity between two things using words such as like or as.  

The sky is as blue as the ocean and the clouds are like waves.   

A Metaphor creates an implicit comparison.

A Metaphor you may hear quite often maybe There are more fish in the sea. 

Language Features 

We were asked to pick 3 out of 5 words and find the definition and an example for each 

Summer

The sun burns brightly

It is quite spectacular

And very shiny

Winter

Ice clings to the tree

Footprints engraved in the snow 

Snowmen linger on each street

Autumn

It's the time of year

As all leaf scatter around

creating piles

Spring

The flowers blooming

smell of pollen in the air

colour in the area

Slam poetry

 I don't have a favorite poem. These poets didn't excite or interest me. I feel like they could be better with maybe an added beat or just something to make them more interesting something to hook listeners.
