Cliff-Personal Narrative
Screaming wildly, she jumped. Like a rocket, her legs launch off the cliff. Wind rushes through her auburn locks. Cheering drowns the air. Fear and excitement fill her eyes. CRASH! The young woman pierces the calm surface, shattering the sun. Then, silence. Nothing but the sound of waves splashing the cliff. Time passes and the mirrored surface restores the sky’s azure perfection and his glaring, golden eye. Once again disturbed, the water shatters. Eyes bright and smile gleaming, the fiery-haired girl breaks through the surface.
“The water is amazing!” Scarlet exclaimed. “Jump in or I’m dragging you down here, wimp!”
From the top of the perch, I yelled back, “Alright, alright. Geez, I’m coming! Better move or I’ll land on you.” Scared—no.

    Analysis: Transitus: 'Transition'

    The summer air hummed restlessly, alive and heavy. Clear and blue with not a cloud in sight, the sky shimmered in the intense heat. John’s eyes were trained on it from his position on his back, a bead of sweat rolling ignored down his jawline to find its way under his bronze torque. He swept his hand through the tall grass and flowers in idle repetition, some of the blades and blooms catching his wide bronze bracelets and then releasing with a torrent of fresh scent. Mind adrift, he started when his sister’s face blocked his view, the shade of her cooling his sun-warmed face.…

    Aurelia Stevens: A Short Story

    Near a little house by the ocean, there lived a young girl named Aurelia Stevens. She loved her name for the way it flowed like a river. In contrast, her hair gave the appearance of a blazing fire, cascading in curls that seemed to raise just a little around her neck and torso. Her vivid blue eyes looked to be from the ocean itself, deep and mysterious just the same.…

    Pros vs Poetry

    Some of the differences that I have noticed between the two examples is that the Pros is written in a more like paragraph form where as poetry contains stanzas. Also the Pros doesn’t really have a rhyming scheme whereas the Poetry example has certain rhymes in it, for example “The woman stands upon the barren peak, Gazing down on the world beneath.” – (Poetry, Example 1) I also noticed a similarity amongst the examples. I noticed that they describe the same story. The only difference is that the poetry describes it in greater affect, using rhymes and greater literature to describe pieces of a greater event that’s taken place. On the other hand the Pros is pretty straight forward in explaining the events that are taken place by not going into major detail. However the Poetry is more confusing to…

    Personal Narrative-Mort Road

    I live out in the middle of nowhere, four other houses coexist out by me, and we each happen to be at least five acres apart from each other. However, we all share a road to progress onto our properties. For over 20 years this road has been a dirt road. We all have managed, became accustom to, and enjoyed living on a dirt road. But, one of the neighbors past away and his son sold his land to a real estate company, in which, disliked dirt road and paid the impact fees to have the county come out and lay a base coat over the dirt road, that left the road with bumps and flying little rocks.

    Cliff: A Fictional Narrative

    We slowly inched our way up to the edge of the cliff. Peering over the ridge, we gasped at the far drop to the water. We quickly scrambled back a few steps, until we were a safe distance away from the edge. “Are you girls ready to jump?” he asked. We simultaneously turned and looked at each other. I saw the fear and doubt in her eyes, but I also saw the determination masked behind those emotions, as I am sure she also saw in my eyes. We locked hands, our hearts pounding in our chests a mile a minute, and took a small step forward. “On the count of three,” I whispered, “One, two, three!” We took off running, our bare feet slapping against the ground until there was no more dirt for us to hit, and leaped off the cliff into the open air, while…

    The Stonemen

    I stared down at my reflection in the crystal clear water. My chestnut brown hair that had never been cut since I was born was laying delicately on my face. It wasn't very long, only enough to cover my eyebrows a bit. I looked around at the place where I sat, watching the jade leaves dancing down from the trees. It was afternoon, about to be seven o'clock, the wind was blowing from the east, and gently flew past me to the west where it hit the ocean.…

    The English Patient - Michael Ondaatje

    She stands upin the garden where she has been working and looks into the distance. She has sensed a shift in the weather. There is another gust of wind, a buckle of noise in the air, and the tall cypresses sway. She turns and moves uphill towards the house, climbing over a low wall, feeling the first drops of rain on her bare arms. She crosses the loggia and quickly enters the house. In the kitchen she doesn’t pause but goes through…

    Her dress is pulled away by the currents, button by button, seam by seam. The sea strips her and soothes her. Slowly swaying, her hair floats around her in a halo manner. Small water stream creeps over her injures healing them. She stops becoming something more than a scared girl or a single person in a endless struggle, as her body glows a soft green her legs brush together and begin to fuse……

    »¿Another wave of sea spray hit his shivering face like bullets pounding into the practise board he used this morning as the boat smashed into a colossal wave. They neared the beach. No longer was it the picturesque setting of crystal waters and soft, light grains of sand that puts smiles on childrenâs faces. Now it was a scene straight out of hell with fire and explosions of destruction, a place where the cries of agonized men would be forever inplanted into the few survivers minds to haunt there darkest nightmares.…

    “Alright let’s go. We probably just missed the best of the waves.” I said in an irritated tone. We went in the car and rushed down. We just made it and got some pretty sick waves. A few hours later we came out of the water. Another twenty minutes and we’re dry enough to go into the car and go home. I took a shower so we could go grab a quick bite before we go to the island festival.…

    The climbers gazed upon the picturous scene as the autumn sky turned darker. The sun seemed to be at peace, making the climbers feel good and warm. The sun slowly began to fade away, as if it were about to fall off the edge of the water. John and Mary suddenly began to feel alive as they sat on the hill to take in the epic event right before them, they felt alive, reborn and inspired.…

    With the Sun carefully loosening its grip, a beautiful sunset ended another day as the fading light fill the scrawling clouds with the golden color of red and yellow. However, this beauty meant very little to one person. Standing on a hilltop that overlooked his former high school, there was one thing that crowded Ben's mind and he desperately wanted it to vanish. He wasn't even sure why he had come this way, his legs taking him to that place full of happiness and painful memories.…

    The art of dirty deeds

    The rain continued to pound down, its staccato beat all too loud through the broken windows. Lightning flashed as he made a break for the door that was banging against the wall in the wind. An inhuman shriek came from behind him. He raced through the door as the table he had been taking refuge hurtled after him into the doorway in a shower of plaster and splinters. The main hallway he was now in was dominated by a huge glittering chandelier. He paused for a moment to catch his breath as he heard his mother howling in rage.…

    The Sunlight Streaming

    I was giddy, like a five year old practically hopping up and down in my seat. As we exited the highway and began going through town, my anticipation grew; everything was beautiful and glistening with the summer sun. Heat waves from the concrete licked at the car tires as we made our way through the furiously hot city. Up ahead a bridge loomed, and I was in such a hurry to cross it. We started moving up over the city and then, through the shiny window glass, I saw the blue-green waters, reflecting like a mirror to the sky. My heart soared; I was home.…

    The Best Journey Ever

    Leaving behind a meadow, we reached a dry barren land. Dead leaves crackled under the wheels of our car. I was starting to drift into a dreamy slumber, when I smelt a distinctive saltiness in the air. The car bounced up and down on the soft sand but we sped on. The sand was pure white like snow. The crashing of the waves tingled in my ears. The sea looked like a massive mirror, with streaks of brilliant colours reflecting in it, as the sun began to set. The sky had a myriad of different colours, like a dazzling carpet, as the sun bid a final, proud goodbye to the earth and plunged into the deep blue sea.…
