Le Fou Descriptive Writing
Le Fou was a spectacular musician who loved to perform in front of spectators, and he loved playing all assortments of instruments. But by far, his favorite was the harp. Le Fou was infatuated by all string instruments, almost to the point of insanity. He enjoyed the feeling of the soft but coarse cords against his fingers. So when Le Fou heard the rumor of the golden harp he was obsessed, he had to find this “magical instrument”.
Fortunately, Le Fou was born into a wealthy family and had inherited plentiful wealth; this enabled him to go on a long voyage. Le Fou began by buying a large galleon and hiring the best sailors in all of France. Once Le Fou was confident in the crew he had hired, he made preparations to set sail.
One of the crew members Le Fou had hired was a German cartographer, whose name was Lügner. Lügner had obtained a map that was eerily similar to the rumors, so Le Fou and his crew placed their bets on the map and set a course for this mysterious island.

Rapid and wild waves crashed into the bow of the boat and flooded onto the main deck. When Le Fou heard this, he quickly ran into his private quarters and clenched to his cot in terror. He heard the loud thuds from the raindrops and wished he was home. Whilst Le Fou was cowering in fright, Lügner and the other crew members were frantically trying to get all of the water off of the main deck. After hours of fighting against the terrifying storm, the weather was starting to settle down and Le Fou returned from his quarters

    1. Live musical performances, in several aspects, are often associated with heavy partying, drinking, and promiscuity. Professional harpists are no exception to the pressure of caving to this kind of lifestyle. Don Cesar Muquinche explains in his interview that his father was subjected to a great deal of pressure to engage in heavy drinking that could last up to several days. Professional harpists were integral to a variety of celebrations and ceremonies in Tungurahua and the surrounding regions. For this reason, harpists were in extremely high demand and travelled the country for events frequently. Harpists not only suffered from the exhaustion of playing for several days at these celebrations, but were also highly encouraged by the attendants of these events to engage in drinking. The temptation was often difficult to ignore for these harpists, as they were subjected to witness the party-goers engaging in what seemed like never-ending drinking. Don Cesar Muquinche’s father was of the very few professional harpists to successfully resist the urge to submit to such heavy pressure throughout his entire career. He saw how many harpists suffered the harsh consequences of spending all their earnings on alcohol and leaving their families penniless in the end. Muquinche Sr. swore to himself that he would not cause such hardship for his family, and worked hard to obtain property for his family to inherit. For much of Don Cesar’s life, the suffering a professional harpist went through kept him from becoming one himself. From reading Don Cesar’s personal accounts, it seems as though Cesar believed he was not strong enough to bear the temptation and exhaustion that accompanied harp playing. However, Don Cesar eventually gave up his first career as a hat maker in order to become a professional harpist because he could not ignore the joy it brought himself to see others love his music. Cesar greatly admired his father’s hard work and found…

    I gazed up into the bleak morning sky and viewed the wafts of smoke, anything to take my mind off what was to come. The sound of the landing craft’s engines revved up indicating we were on our final approach. I gripped my Thompson and carefully glanced over it. The functionality of this gun could mean life or death for me and so it received my dearest attention. Suddenly the ear shattering sound of the big .50 caliber machine gun opened up on our boat. Immediately thereafter, the screech of a whistle permeated the air, and the front of the boat began lowering.…

    A memento, a token, a keepsake, and a talisman can be anything from a small item kept in memory of the person who gave it to you or originally owned it, to an object kept as a reminder or souvenir of an event. A memento, a token, a keepsake and a talisman are souvenirs, something that stirs memories from the past, so you will never forget them. You need these memories to have something to look back on when you get older, when that one special person who meant so much to you is gone in an instant.…

    In viewing the sublime town, I move at a languid gait, despite the fact that it is midnight. The phase moon is visible as a fully illuminated disc that is encircled by shimmering stars; which creates an atmosphere that makes me feel unravel. Below this stupendous sight is a barren house that is totally in contrast to the scenery above it. The house is dark and is surrounded by white clouds; however the luminous light from the moon shines on this haunted house. Some of the windows are broken while some are cracked and filled with moulds. The roof is large and has several apertures and is falling at the seams. It lacks iridescence as it embeds only one fainted colour – grey. I quiver as the cold breeze blows, and the smell of mist fills the air and the leaves around the house arise. I am now in a state where my mind is not lucid, as I muddle whether I should return home or to continue this haphazard adventure.…

    The waves crashed at my legs. The sand stuck to my toes, parts of seaweed were stuck on my leg. The sun was burning my face. My arms and legs tingled with the thought of a shark attacking me, like on T.V. I shiver involuntarily, and bit my chipped nails. The day had started out like any summer day going to the beach.…
