Descriptive Writing


Descriptive writing is an art form. It is painting a picture with words so that the reader "sees" exactly what you are describing.
 
Your tasks:
 
1. Read these articles:
 
 
2. Choose any school-appropriate topic, event, person, or object in which you can base a short, descriptive paragraph (or two) upon. 
 
3. Using carefully chosen diction to highlight the topic and whatever tone you deem appropriate to go along with it, describe this subject in approximately 200 words or less. Do not name the subject or use any words that would obviously give it away.
 
4. Post this comment by Monday, August 30th at midnight. 
 
5. By Friday, September 3rd at midnight, you need to comment on at least three of your classmates' comments. I expect that most of these comments will be guesses as to the subject of their descriptions. As such, your theories should contain well-thought out logic and reasoning. Please try to equally distribute these comments among your classmates. 
  • You may choose to reveal your subject anytime after this date.
6. Keep all comments academically-sound, respectful, and following the practices of standard academic English.

  2. I absolutely agree with the author in the first article. Even though this is my first time reading about diction, I completely understand its meaning. There are so many different tones in today's society, and there are only a few that you can identify right away, pretty much based on the context surrounding it. For example, if your dog knocked over the trash can, you would use a copmpletely different tone than if you were trying to coax a two year old to go to bed on Christmas Eve. My personal belief is that the article in question is a good article that distinguishes between diction and tone.

    The second article, New Words Added to the Dictionary, is a waste of time. It is actually a good article. However, the 2,000 new words that have been added are slang words from modern day speech, not actual words. Words like bromance and staycation can be used in everyday language, or as a joke, but they don't belong in a dictionary. At the rate our society is going now, in 50 years, our descendants will probably not think twice about those words: they will consider it normal, and just continue on with life. Although it could be used as a good joke website, I think that it is not worth reading. Words that are in the dictionary are words that are in use every day, not just once in a while, such as the or and or menopause. :)

    amy i think that maybe you did not understand the assignment. you needed to write a descriptive paragraph not necessarily a response.

  4. This person has been there in your whole entire life time. This person will always be there, for example taking care of you when you needed a ride to school or from home. Also this person will always be there with you in your time of need, your time of sympathy and always be there when you have been heart broken throught your life. No matter if you had this person in your life there is one person you might think relates to this desciption that I am trying to explain to you. This person has been there for you through the good and bad you might think that this person is sometimes unfair or just that sometimes they might not understand what you are going through.
    Who is this person that i am trying to describe to you?

  6. My "item" is a life changing item.Everyone in the world knows what this item is.If you have it,you want more of it.If you do not have it then you are not important.You cannot live without it.Some people even give it away. A kid that is 3 years old can have more than a 30 year old adult.You can use it to travel around the world and back.You need it to eat,you need it to sleep,you need it to post this blog.My "item" can save lives as well as hurt lives.Some people die over it.You can use it to gain respect. There have been forms of it since the caveman times.This one "item" has many different forms, can you guess what my "item" is?

  7. It often just lies there on my night stand. I feel as though I've been neglecting it for quite some time now, ever since school has started I've just been so preoccupied. It still has that beautiful shine & has always had a way of bettering my mood or just calming me down. It is probably my most cherished material possession, & in this life there are not many. I've never been much of a materialistic person, I know that the most important people in my life will always mean more to me than any object ever will. Although this item is intended for entertainment purposes it has always been able to do more than just that. Sure it entertains but it also relaxes & puts me at ease, the words it uses so often make me just slow down & think which is sometimes what I need during hectic times & days such as these, Can you guess what I'm describing?

  8. its really abundant in the world.its alsocomes in many diferent shapes and sizes.alot of people in the world dont realize how important this is to everyone, and carelessly abuse it. if it were for this, the world wouldnt be anywhere close to the way it is not. people should have more of these around because they beautiful and natural. alot of things in the world rely on his for help.

  9. Protection. That's my main purpose. Hold me and I'll be yours forever. Or just as long as you need me to keep you safe. But for the most part, I'm neglected. You can find me shunned inside the hall closet, just waiting for someone to pick me up. I often feel unused and unwanted enough to be held in someone's hand. But when I am, it's the best thing ever. The thought that someone actually needs me gives me a sense of importance, of belonging. But that feeling doesn't last long, for I am nothing but an occasional necessity, something that's needed only when convenient. Why is this? Is it because the way I look? I look like a backwards D, almost like a frown. It's an odd shape really, sometimes a little bit ugly. Maybe that's why not a lot of people feel the constant need to take me into their lives. What object am I?

  10. Most people cherish this thing its very important if you want to suceed in life. People often take advantage of this and waste it on meaningless things. Its always around when you need it and if you don't have it someone else might. It can slip right between your fingers, you need it to do everything. if your having fun you won't know what happened to it. If you don't keep your eye on it you'll lose track of it. Without it you can get lost you can get into trouble!!!It's different in other places it gives you insight on whats going on around the world. The most important thing is that it can FLY!!!!

  11. My item is a life changing item. Everyone in the world knows what my item is. If you have it,you want more. If you don't have it then you are unnecessary to the world. You cannot live without my item, it's impossible. Some people give it away others steal it for no reason. You need it to eat. You need it to sleep. You needed it to write this blog. This can save lives as well as hurt lives and sadly end lives. You need it to gain respect and independence. Every minute of the day television broadcast my item in some shape or form. I have no idea how it became what it is today,there are even forms of it 2000 years ago.

  12. Always sitting in the back of a drawer were no one ever needs it again. I used to provide people entertainment and now newer forms of entertainment have been created. I get used once and never again will anyone touch me unless they absolutely have to. I am more expensive than other forms of entertainment, but that doesn't mean that no should purchase me. I give people information and sound yet people don't use me as much as they used to. I am round and flat and I could also fit anywhere, but sadly I am forever trapped in the back of a drawer filled with other objects no one will ever use again. I provide excellent entertainment on the road, but that is outdated. It's all about the modern and pretty things of life. I'm just an oudated form of entertainement that will never agin be used. What object am I?

  15. I don't use this particular item as much like other girls do. It has a strong stench when I open it that still I am not immune to, reminds me of an alchohol smell. Some people find it a relaxing smell, others find it too strong which results to a headache. This particular item comes in an enormous amount of colors and shades. There exists many brands of it too since it's such a common item used between girls since its more viewed as a feminin material. Its difficult to remove once the object has been used, it usually can be scratched off or a special chemical could just swipe it off. Professionals use it as do everyday people just to be decorative. So, can you guess the specific item I am describing?

    ReplyDelete
  16. It is very unique. It is something that is always there, whether or not it is used. Every human being has possession and right to use it. It is not a material object and cannot be seen. It is as clear as the air you breath. It can be felt depending on how strongly it is used. However it can never be felt physically or be held in the palm of your hand.

  17. oh yeah nvm its totally nail polish haha

  18. It can be found anywhere and nowhere. It has no boundaries, but is felt wherever you go. It can be a welcome respite from the world or the oppressor, the hunter and you, the hunted. In it's purest of forms, the form that everyone longs for, it is still flawed. But these flaws are understood, accounted for, and loved. One of these can be compared to how a jeweler examines a diamond before it is cut. No matter how dirty, or irregular, at it's heart, at it's center, is a priceless beauty, a beauty that is almost incomparable to other beauties.

    It has cradled and nursed great thinkers, emperors, theologists, and poets, while being accredited with the likes of tyrants and thieves alike. There are many of these, all over the world. It is a focal point in some places more than in others. It is both complex and simple. Easy to emulate, but difficult to understand, it is the epitome of life here on earth for some, while a hindrance to others. It's effects cannot be underestimated, for it has stood the test of time, while giving birth to recorded time itself.

  19. There many words to desribe love. The affect of love could be heart breaking or love boasting. When you compare love to life you need to know that they are the same. Love is part of life which we all need

  20. My item is a very usefull item. People.use it in many ways and gather families closer to each other. The most usefull and enjoy able time is during thanksgiving. We all love to talk to one another and it can also be used in different ways. For example you can put small objects like a vase on it with a flower. Some people like those that can not afford this item are those who live in the streets.

  21. The enless love and protection the people give off to me. Well even though this person been with me through thick and thin.Plus, the biggest role modle that i very had and inspired me successed in life. Also, this person that I love dearly has been there when needed. If I am feeling scared the hugs given tak all that fear away.eventhough the love is endless and can break down any wall to help me. Until the end of time i will be giving thank to this one person dearly for not giving up on me and pushing my boundries

  22. You cannot stop me. No matter what the circumstances. I can go fast if you enjoy certain activities but I can go slow if you want me to go ahead. I am always hung up on a wall and I am needed for destinations or departure. I can be controlled by simple turns and twists. I have two hands that can tell you yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What object am I ?

  23. it has been around forever! always growing within each person. most want more and more of it. the ones with little of it want to gain it. we go to school for it. we go through a lot of trouble to aquire it. we use it in competition and use it against or for others, to help them or to hurt them. we use it all the time even without realizing it.

  24. I am in your room day and night. I come in many different sizes and brands. I can be filled with water and I can be cotrolled by a remote. Most little kids have stuffed animals when on me. Little boys tend to wet me. I last about eight years then you have to replace me. Your on me some time during the day. Can you tell me what I am?

  26. My item is inside my heart and will stay there for a very long time.Its in each thought I have. I’ve been with this item for a couple months now. I cant count on it no matter what.Theres never a day that I’m sad when I’m with it because it can always make me smile or laugh. I get little butterflies in my stomach when I'm near it. I can be myself when I'm around it and i wouldn't be judged. It makes me feel safe. When i feel lonely its always there to companion me. It makes my day with anything it does. It is very funny,sweet,intelligent, and amazing. It showed me the definition of love and took me to this beautiful new world i always dreamed of. I have an endless love for it. I feel so lucky to have it by my side.♥

  28. There it is. Can you hear it? It's in the air, it's in our hearts, it's everywhere we go.It is always there in your ups and your downs; it obediently follows you where ever you go. There is no escaping this truly treasured thing. Appreciate it every moment you can. This will follow you throughout your life. You might have heard it in the womb, you might have heard it before you fell asleep, you still hear it. After it is gone it lingers in the air , still and silent yet somehow, only you can hear it. No matter what it ca not be taken away from you, it will never be yanked out or held beyond your reach. It is forever universal and forever yours to keep dear and near. :)

    HAVE FUN GUESSING YOU GUYS!!!! :D

  30. You fill me up with a happy filling. I can attain you with a simple swipe of a card. If a card is not at hand I recieve you with exchange of green paper. When I arrive home I remove your packaging and enjoy what you have to offer. Another can save for a week and still not get near as to what I have. I can combine it together or just have one alone. Others call it unhealthy how much I can take in. In this game an average person cannot beat me. I take in as much as I please. Though it is a need I make it a want. I cannot conform to a limited amount. You look at me and think "How much can one take?" I take as much as I please until I am pleased. When I finished I am filled with pleasure. Later on when I have that empty feeling I yet again return to repeat what I have done earlier in that same day. Can you guess my object? Can you guess my verb? You do as much as I. Yet I take more then you. To me it is healthy and I do not have to quit. I do not have an addiction but maybe a somewhat controlled obbsession:)

    Mauricio is yours a bed? Little boys wet the bed, I had teddies on mines when I was little, and they're called waterbeds!

  33. According to some it's the art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. But its much more than that. Much more than just simple sounds put togethere. It's feeling, it's emotion. It's a sense of passion, a sense of love, a sense of uniqueness and reality. It is whatever you want it to be. Whenever you feel alone, insecure, or leftout, it is the one thing that you can run to and find rest in. It's where you know you can be yourself and no one can judge. Its more than just sound, it's life.

As time passes by i will get older, but he will look exactly the same. when nobody is around he makes me smile. he been through so much with me through tears and it all. he's even gone under the needle several times. I consider him my most prized possession and my childhood best friend. i can tell him my secrets and i know he wont tell. i hope to pass him down to my daughter and she passes it on to hers. i want to give others the experiences that he gave to me. Can you guess what he is?

  36. It can bring a smile to ones face or an instant depression. It can fix a person or even break them. It can never be replaced nor forgotten. It could leave scars but they will always heal back.It can be mentally, emotionally,or physically. You can find it or it can find you. You can lose it or it could lose you, either way it's always there.

  40. He just showed up out of no where and came into my life. There is no way to get away from him. His life is intertwined with mine. He is there for me at the good times and the bad times. He cheers me up and brings me down. I feel lonely without him around, but when he is with me I want to have my me time. We are so alike, and yet so dfferent. I can't understand him sometimes like what he is feeling, but we think the same. He has gotten older and so have I. Lately it feels like we've grown appart, but no matter how far away we get I will still care for him.

  44. This is something you use all day. From when you wake up until you go to sleep. This can entertain you, it can make sounds, and you can take it almost everywhere. It is almost always small and can fit in your pocket. It can make you smile and it can make you cry. It can get lost and it can break. It can be borrowed as well as stolen. Its pretty much something useful and entertaining.

  50. and frommmmm my previous enrichmenntt



    David L. Price uses a professional/formal tone, while trying to explain the issue. He uses details, and examples to support his argument. Immediatly, one can notice this is a person with a professional background and has a good education. His style of writing is explicit leaving no doubt and making his statement very clear.

    In the contrary, Ryan DeVries uses a tone of sardonicism, with that being said we can conclude he is upset and does not agree with the idea. His style of writing is informal, states the word "dam" numerous times, and threatens the Department of Environmental Quality which all together sounds like nonsence and very unprofessional

  51. His eyes are light brown like the sun barely waking up. His hair, so soft and thick, shines and is accentuated by the sun. His masculine beauty hypnotizes me as I stare. He stares back at me. He knows I’m watching but does not communicate in English language for nature forbids it. His heavy breath makes me sweat and when he’s too happy, I think about when his life could be possibly coming to an end. God, can I just keep him for a few more years? Until his eyes and soul is passed on to someone just like him? When he’s gone, I’ll cry, but when I think of the memories that last forever, then that will stop my crying.

  54. This is someone who is usually not found easily. Its is neither an animal or an inanimate object. It is for holding. It is to store all your secrets most intimate thoughts into. It can help you appreciate yourself more than you may of did before. Also, it can help appreciate what you have. This is not found around the corner. It may not be an easy thing to see.But It is something that can be found by the blind. Anyone can find it_just don't be a fool and be cool when you find it, because if your not.. it can be gone in less than a second.

  55. I often use it like 24/7 but ever since my AP classes i have not been using it much except for HW. I can use it for research, music, homework, videos, communication, ect. It is always on no matter what time of the day it is. It also has its own little section in the house. I also do not like spilling liquids on it because it will get ruined. Once in a while it also catches a bad cold through a virus and it usually takes quite some time to get better.

  56. It makes you happy when your sad, but it can bring tears to your eyes (not me though, i do not cry).It can make you laugh, and it can make you frown. It is often part of someone's place of eating or playing. It has over 1,000 varieties. It comes in all sizes. I have six of them some people do not even have one.

  57. its round and provides us with warmth.people get angry and complain at it on summerdays but forgive it at the end of every summer because with out it we couldnt survive.people still marvel at it when it raises everyday.we miss it in winter when were under our blankets shaking.some places in the world hardly see it and sometimes dont see it for months.we all need it and come to love it at one point in our life time.

  60. It oftens catches the eye of the human being ,it's the creativity between the beholder , and the eye, it has the essence of expression and flows through the mind with imagination, it could be used variously you see it everywhere you go it's inspirational yet original, could have color? it could possibly have personality?could be different....the state of mind of a person's belonign or hobby.

  61. You hear this wonderful sound everywhere. In your house, in your room, and in your head. It ,makes you smile, it makes you think, it makes you weep. Line after line, rhyme after rhyme, The person that is making it exppresses their feelings.

  64. Upon arrival, I noticed many familiar faces. The main buzz of activity seems to be coming from the next room. As I entered, I noticed everyone crowded around the oven baked centerpiece laced with a sugary coating, topped with wax pillars sporting wildly flickering flames. The room goes silent as the guest of honor approaches the table appearing to be in deep thought; he pauses as to be contemplating his future. Then with one rapid exhale, the wax pillars go dark, leaving only a wisp of smoke to fill the air. Immediately, the room is filled with loud applause as the hands of the many guests come together congratulating this achievement. High fives, hugs, and pats on the back surround the guest of honor. Conversations quickly turn to future plans and goals.

  65. Gentle and crashing it comes. It quietly massages the ear drums of a human. It is anything but predictable. Every changing, it can be smooth as fleece, or it can make evoke the feeling of lowness among anything and everything around you. Known to cure the ideal ailment, it brings along with it not only life, but the inner nirvana of a person. Soothing the inner fears and then unexpectedly unleashing the wrath that is capable of destroying everything one has stood for. Taming the powers of this awesome force is not an option, for many have tried but only to achieve momentary victory following a drowning moment of sadness and awe. For this force is patient, but can strike with an unmatched force at its will. When man tries to replicate it, they never succeed, for they can never create the very exact elements that it requires to be as such as it is. Why would one fear such a force that they are reliant upon? Why would one become too comfortable with a force that is so destructive? It brings love and harmony between neighbors and the ones you would want to be dear with, yet it annihilates your relation with your brothers. What is in such a natural yet supernatural force?

  66. I always use this item when I am at home. It hooks up to my computer and allows me to make virtually anything. There are endless possiblilities that you can make with it. If you can use this item very well, it can give you world fame and lots of money. This item can be used to do almost anything.

  67. Its small yet bigger than others. It can be controlled by a simple twist and push of your foot.its quiet safe but dangerous if you dont know what your doing.Its nice to have when you are going to long destinations. It goes faster than a person could run. It gets me from point A to point B and it does not run on E.

  69. hmmm.. my item is something you can feel, yet you cant see. It can take you to extreme highs and extreme lows. It can make you feel like your dreaming yet its reality. it can capture you in a heartbeat and last for an eternity, or it can go just as fast as it came. It can drive you crazy yet keep you sane. Its one of those things that people dream and hope for. Do you know what it is?

  70. It hurts when you cry but loves when you laugh.You never want to let it fall you always want to stand up for it forever.You Can not see it, but you can feel it.You want to save it forever, but sometime you can't help but let it hurt and fall.But then it hurt even more when you try to fix it.Othe times you wish you didnt have one, but with out it you can't live.

  72. The feeling i get when i see her, the way we both wrinkle our nose when we laugh, or how we do stuff in a certain way. We have very similar personalities, but completely different appearance. Her body is covered with what some people consider art, and piercings. Her artistic and poetic skills, are magnificent. Our taste in music, and what we wear is also very different. We are very distant from one another (physically), 6 hours to be exact. But our emotional connection is stronger than any. The way i can tell her anything, and how she knows what to say to make everything seem better. We are connected, whether we want it or not.

  74. This amazing miniture device is constantly by your side. Always there to assist you to communicate with any one you need to! This spectacular machine never complains,whines, or give you an attitude even though we constantly abuse it with our thumbs. We drop it but it still does its very important job.(most of the time if its not cheap) When we are stranded and need help we simply apply this wonderful item close to our ear and it magically telaports our voice to other peoples ears. How would our constantly busy world servive without such a genuis mechanism? Well it deffinatly could not, we need this important piece of plastic and metal put together constantly with us so we dont feel as if we are empty. Comunication is easily achieved with such advanced technology.

  77. Damian: You are describing a car. Not running on E (empty), it is controlled by the twist of a foot (gas pedal) and dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (obviously). And it can definitely go faster than someone can run...well they're supposed to anyways.

    Amy: You are talking about a birthday party. You describe coming home and everyone being in the kitchen with the cake. And the birthday boy/girl makes a wish and blows out the candles.

    Angie: I believe that you are talking about clothes. They have changed in design, are made out of different materials, come in different colors and lengths, and everyone has them

  78. They are very small and fragile and hold with the upmost care. Have no teeth and barely any hair. Produced by love and are carried by only women for a certain amount of time.Can you guess what these little bundles of joy are?

  79. This item is sold in many stores, it even has stores that only sell this item. It comes in many different colors, sizes, styles, and brands. The sizes are usually given out using numbers. We all have them and wear them everyday. Most of us have more than one. What am I?

  80. You are uneasy with it,you want to say that you will wait but that would be an understatement,"I cant wait!","I want to know now!" is the result from what this is. Having this makes you feel like a completely different person. You deny having this being the type of person that you are. do you know what IT is?

  81. Edith: Chocolate because it's sweet and smooth when it melts in your mouth and can be serve with almost anything.
    MARIA: Your itouch, you could use it for videos,go online for research and communicate by using yahoo messenger.
    Jaqueline: It's the sun, provides warm and most people get irritated by it when it's too hot.

  83. These things are necessary to every day life. People have them in all different kinds of sizes,colors,and styles. In the mall there are always stores that sell these. As much as you try and keep them clean they always end up getting dirty. They constantly cause you to stop and redo a step that will cause you not to trip ??

  84. How amazing it is indeed! Chocolate submerged scrumptiousness that turns my world upside down. Yes! The most magnificient, desireable, irresistable pleasure in my life. Who can dare deny its warm, sweet aroma that fills any room after being released from its kitchen creator. Call it cousin to its popularly recognized rival that is enjoyed mostly on ones natal day, though it does indeed have a complete mind of its own. Skin so flaky it crackles with admiration, flesh so moist as a roast is tender, and sweet goodness that can never be mistaken. What else can melt in your mouth after the smallest seed of consent Who rises above all other comestibles and looks at neighboring chocolate chip cookies with pity; ha, how dare they attempt to emulate my grace. I am, and will always be, the greatest indulgence this planet has to offer; call me....

  85. This particular person is always there at your side, no matter what. (S)He is there to support you. You can have fun and be yourself with this person because you know (s)he loves you and will not judge you. The two of you can act as weird and dumb as you want without caring what others say or think. Even though you may fight and make a scene, you know you will be there for each other.

  86. @ Alejandra A. are you talking about your mommy? I remember because of what you said about your mom before and the way you described her.

  87. mauricio: water bed/mattress. people wet their beds and put stuffed animals on their bed. (sit n sleep. if it's over eight, it's time to replace)

    gerado: glasses. you need them to see and doctors to prescribe.

    stacey: air/oxygen. your hint basically gave it away.

  88. Nobody likes me. People are disgusted by the way I look. Once i find my designated spot, I will stay there. I can go away the next day or stay and appear in many different places. Many cover me up because they are ashamed by the way I look. It is not easy to get rid of me. I will scar or bleed if you mess with me. I am either small or big, pink or red. I will go, then appear again some other time. I am everywhere, but as you grow older, I won't want you anymore.

  89. Que pasa my fellow classmates..
    Can you guess my thingy lol..

    It causes as many as 100,000 deaths annually. It is a major cause of premature death in the United States and a primary contributor to a wide array of health problems and human suffering. It can destroy ones life but it can also spruce ones life up. It can turn a boring "function" into the best night of your life. You might wake up with a tramp stamp and hugging the bathroom floor but it gives memories. It comes in different shapes, sizes, and "bang" or "oomph". Some cant live without it and some abuse it. HINT: all you LOCOS know what its 4 or might think its JOOSE.. LOL and yess you can make it very dirty ; ) ahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  90. Some might say it's addicted to the spot light, but it's in the back keeping everyone else together. It is loud, entertaining, and famous in most parts of the world. When you treat it right it stays shiny. If you treat it wrong its sweet sound dies with your talent. It is beat but does not scream as a human would. When it is hit, it makes different sounds depending on what part of it is hit. The beating is not a punishment because it keeps the personality. Abuse is not a word that the cops use, it's more of a public disturbance.

    ReplyDelete
  91. You can pop me. I can be an amusement for the mouth. Guys love to see girls tie the end of me. I am mostly good with any desert. I am used in naughty games for pleasurement. Im red in and out and when you eat me a juicy burst of lusciousness sensation fills your mouth.

    P.S.: this is my favorite ; )

    ReplyDelete
  92. I pop up unexpectedly; most people do not like me. Some try to cover me up, while others point me out. Some say squeeze me, while others say DON’T!! After a while I may change colors on you, to even white. Once I here, I cannot be moved. I usually make you sore and unsecure. For some I am here all the others and others once in a blue moon.
    WHAT AM I

  93. He rips it out the package. Slowly putting it in the hole. Heat it up till burning! It makes a sound. Outside very warm, then putting white stuff all over after a finish. Me touching the white stuff and lick it in my mouth, then lick my lips and smiled.

  116. Quadree: your's is your drum set. I know because you said its a public disturbance not abuse and that you said "When it is hit, it makes different sounds depending on what part of it is hit." Plus i played the drums so its obvious. You fail.
    Nickey: It's a cherry. By the way, you're gross. You said it can be popped which means well... umm.. yeah. You said you can tie the end of it so it has to be a cherry.
    Anonymous: Get a freaking life!
    J.C. (aka. the beast): Way to over-achieve you English stud you. Your's is a _____ because you said that everyone has one. Also you said that not every one wants it. I am obliged not to give it away because it was so good so everyone can wait till you tell them!

  118. Okay, scholars. Live up to your title. Some of you need to cool it with the talk that is clearly not class-appropriate. Anything that you wouldn't want your mother and the principal to hear or read, DON'T post it here. I don't want to read it either.

    They are glasses man common that was an easy one. you can tell by the way you said that they make you look smart. also because we need a prescription from a docter to get the right glasses.

  120. Quadree: It is soooo drums. I know you too well. It fits the description perfectly. "Beating, but not a punishment", "keeps everyone together", "different sounds when hit in different places".

  122. I just felt like making some more :]

    #2 My many depths are both bountiful and barren. I worship the moon but many a civilization has worshipped me. I have fascinated mankind from the very beginning with my awesome, raw power. A power that, at times, can give just as much as I can take. When agitated, I throw up a wall. A wall that only the swiftest can escape. What am I?

    #3 Born in Europe and reborn in the land of the free, I have become a very symbol of a way of life. There was a time when I was underestimated. Thought of, as just a fad. But I have outlived my critics by many a generation. What am I?

  140. To lizbeth: its a cute wittle baby isnt it??? It is because babies are in most occasions referred to as bundle of joys.The writer also says that women are the ones that hold these for a short period of time,which is when women are pregnantand the baby is still in the stomach.

    To Sahara: is it trees or some form of plant???
    In the text,Sahara writes that "it" is natural abd beautiful which is also abundant in the worlw which has to be some sort of plant. Sahara also writes that if it werent for this the world wouldnt be what it is today,which supports that it is plants and also makes me think its trees because we(the entire world) cut down trees to make houses and other important things
    To Jacqueline: is it the sun???
    I believe that is is the sun because the writer says that "it" provides us with wramth and is round.The only thing that comes to mind when I hear that is the sun because it is the only thing that provides us(the entire world) with warmth.
