The happy couple - descriptive writing
The lights were dimmed that the room gave off a vibe of relaxation and compassion. Burgundy silk curtains draped around the tall glass windows at the restaurant wall with a certain pattern to each.
The young couple sat at the round table closets to closed window curtain. The table cloth was silk and the chairs was an old Victorian theme, swirls and designs engraved in its ivory wood. The couple stared into each other's emerald eyes and gave each other a warm smile. A violinist came to their table playing a soft tune from the romantic period. The violinist bow skid across the strings as it crescendo its notes. The perfect vibrato of the violinist's hand, made the tune bounce off from the walls of the small restaurant. The waiter finally arrived with the happy couple's dinner. Pasta of the Sea for the young girl and Soup of the Sea for the young boy, the waiter politely made a small bow, leaving with the violinist. The young couple ate under the murmured of the other guest and the soft violin tune but they were silence eating without saying a single word to one another. The sea food dinner was filled with delicate spices and ingredients that made anyone's stomach growl in hunger by just the smell of it. A mixture of well cooked octopus legs, crab meat, shrimp and oyster all mixed in with their chosen ingredient. For the young girl it was thin long pasta that was tangle with all the sea fruits. For the young boy the soup was a red tint with the saviors of each sea fruit in the mixture.

Before the young couple was finish with their meal, the young boy stood from his chair allowing to slightly scraping against the tiles and kneeled down in front of the young girl. The restaurant grew into a quick silence that only the opening and closing of the kitchen door was heard. The young boy poured his heart out in a poem of stutters trying to keep his head straight asking the girl her loved with passion

    In the memoir “Fish Cheeks,” the author Amy Tan conveys an embarrassed tone towards her family’s Christmas Eve dinner through the use of diction, imagery, and sentence structures. This is first seen at the beginning of the dinner when Tan declares that the behaviors of her relatives at the dinner table threw her “deeper into despair (Tan)” as the event dragged on. The powerful diction used in this assertion indicates her feelings of shame for the un-American manners of her family, and it creates aloof, disgustful imagery. The syntax component of this short, emphasized statement also shows this sentiment of frustration. This feeling is again illustrated near the end of the dinner, when after offered…

    As my family and I stepped d in, we were greeted and welcomed with loud beautiful music, which older families wouldn’t enjoy. I stood head to toe with the overwhelming menu of countless different meal choices. It was nicely dressed in a antique wrap of design around the edges. Each menu choice was separated in categories labeled with elegant and beautiful text, which made me love this place with more passion. I didn’t have one thought of my first choice of a meal for the night. To get saved from the black hole of the Riscky's menu was the generous waiter dressed in a formal manner. She walked up to our smooth wood grain finish table and greeted us with pure sincere gratitude knowing that we didn’t have one clue of what to order. She explained her favorite dish on the menu and I was absolutely certain It was soon to be my favorite as well.…

    There is a painting on the wall in the background that balances the table of the lonely woman who sits at the front of the picture. Her table top is light in color showing us, like the light of her blouse, which these objects are in the direct of a light source. The further back you look into the painting, the darker the surfaces, with the exception of the light colored table that the two men are sitting at. It makes you feel that there is may be a connection between the lonely woman, who is looking in their direction, and them. The room is smokey, as painted with the off white diagonal lines going across the painting over the four people in the background.…

    In a sort of short story style, Marie Howe illustrates a depleting family relationship between a father and his children in the poem, “The Boy,” through its many symbols.

The speaker, discovered through clues within the poem, is the younger sister of the boy and she is listening and learning from the examples set by her brothers. There is no mention of a mother so the focus is kept on the relationship between the father and children.…

    I lay patiently on the cracked leather chaise longue. The modest room was a fading cream colour, books line the wall near my feet in an ornate shelf, a small desk and chair sit by the wall opposite me next to the iron door, there is a single swinging light in the middle of the room which casts a golden glow over everything and a painting of a sailing ship hangs above me.…

    Its also important to note that while you read, to take in consideration about the time period that “Two Meals” was written in. The beginning of the first paragraph has words describing the first meal: “salmon and ducklings... glass of wine… whitest cream... and foliated as rosebuds.” These words describe a decadent feast. The diction and imagery is very vivid and heavy, this helps the reader imagine the tone and setting and also helps elaborate on the author's thoughts. The sentence structure is long and drawn out: “It is part of the novelists convention not to mention soup and salmon and ducklings, as if soup and salmon and ducklings were of no importance whatsoever, as if nobody ever smoked a cigar or drank a glass of wine.” (line 6), and “The partridges and and various, came with all their retinue of sauces and salads, the sharp and sweet, each in its order, their potatoes, thin as coins but not so hard; their sprouts, foliated as rosebuds but more succulent.” (line 18). Woolf used this method because it helps the reader slow down and process their thoughts, and it is also a way of drawing out the author's main points. Jumping back to the point about the time period, the last couple of sentences talk about life of the men at their college: “How good life seemed, how sweet its rewards, how trivial the grudge or that grievance, how admirable friendship and the…
