In the story “Searching for Summer”‚ Joan Aiken uses diction and imagery to show how the moods change from depressing in the town to happy in the country. Aiken uses imagery to describe the sky as “whitish gray‚ day after day‚ sometimes darking to weeping slate” (68). The author compares sky to crying without the sun shining. The reader can conclude that without the sun‚ the town would be dark and depressing. Another way Aiken uses imagery in the story to describe the houses is when she states “dimmest

The crisp summer air filled the local park‚ the sun burning down‚ everyone wanted some fresh air-the park was packed. A young couple lounging on the fresh grass having a barbecue‚ the juicy aroma of sausages floated through the park‚ making everyone hungry. Across from the couple parked precariously on an old patch of grass was an ancient ice-cream van. The old‚ decrepit van had been in the family for years‚ paint peeling‚ bodywork rusting‚ the ice-cream van was fit for the dump‚ but as if transfixed

I would consider the summer of 2014 to be the best and worst summer of my life. A friend and I had saved money all year so that as soon as the biggest accomplishment of our life was achieved we could treat ourselves to Myrtle Beach‚ South Carolina. There is nothing better than sand between your toes‚ and waves crashing into you after finishing thirteen years of the public school system. All of that sounds really great except for the fact that I am extremely terrified of sea life. This specific beach

Nick Joaquin’s “Summer Solstice” is one of the many intoxicating stories he’s made. It could have been attributed to the author’s state of mind while writing his stories. He shares this kind of style with Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway. They love to drink and write. I love to drink and drink… milk. I wish I am still a child to enjoy it for free where only my cry is my ticket to getting it. This maybe the reason why I still have this magnetic attraction to breasts. I must admit‚ I’m not in

Final Draft During the summer break‚ my favorite place to visit is the beach. There are many things that make me want to return every year. My family likes to go to the beach for vacation. It is warm and sunny with blue skies and sandy beaches. My favorite thing to do at the beach is to swim. I love the ocean and the swimming pool in the hotel. I also enjoy the hot tub. Swimming is fun and relaxing. It is great to play in the water. My second favorite thing to do is I also like

Summer Lovin’ “Mornin’ Kell!” says the clerk at the local grocery store. “Good morning‚ Beck!” I holler back while walking down the stationary isle. There is just something about a rural town that will never leave your memory. It could quite possibly be the quietness all day‚ every day or maybe it is the fact that everyone knows everyone on a first name bases. Coming home to Small Town USA was a break from the real world‚ or so you thought the real world. College life wasn’t so bad‚
