Descriptive Language


Post a comment with an example of some of the figurative or descriptive language you used in your long comp on Tuesday. How creative did you get?

Here's my example: "The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning." from Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt
