A Hot Summer Day
On this hot summer day...
The sun is shining, the sky is clear, temperatures are already beginning to rise
I step outside into the glaring, luminous sun that heats up my skin just perfectly
I lay out on a picnic blanket, gasping in the dazzling sunlight, enjoying the summer sun before it gets too hot to enjoy
On this hot summer day...
As the afternoon comes around, the heat is now torrid
I can barely stand to be outside before my mouth begins quenching for thirst and the uncomfortable feeling of sweat slowly starts to run down my back
On this hot summer day...
I take a bike ride into down town to get some lemonade in order to satisfy my severe craving hoping to feel a cool breeze while riding through the radiant heat of this searing sunlight, beaming off my cheeks, making them rose red
On this hot summer day...
As the sun begins to set, the brilliant, lustrous pink, red and orange colors cover the sky and the heat finally begins to diminish
I can now enjoy the end of this hot summer day with a book in hand and my feet swinging freely, while they hang over the wooden swing that is tied to the tall oak tree the ending of a scorching, yet glamorous, summer day, is only the beginning of the next hot summer day...

    You see, I do not necessarily care for the blistering hot days southern Florida is known for. I enjoy the beach the most when it is cooler; especially when it has just rained. I sit back in my beach chair and look up to the sky. The clouds create a pleasant, refreshing blanket from the hot sun. I take a deep breath and, I can smell the rain that has just fallen. Now, the clouds are breaking and letting little slivers of sunlight shine threw. The new sun seems to change the color of everything. The sand is a bright white with speckles of glittering shells. The ocean is a deep shade of aqua with the sunlight glistening over it. This is…

    Scott Fitzgerald and the different principles of the 1920s. It uses words such as “Jazz” (popular type of music), “steps leading to my dreams” (the American dream), and “short-haired girls” (which was a new style back then) to illustrate the Jazz Age. Nick is the writer of this poem, and throughout the poem, he is observing and describing the different colors he sees in the party. The first stanza is orange and it symbolizes warmth, energy and vigour to illustrate the “jazz [roaring]”, the “rich golden sun” and the “oranges and lemons”. The second stanza is blue, and it symbolizes purity, life and tranquility to illustrate the “bright blue gardens”, the “champagne by the sea”, and the “sky”. The third stanza is green, and it symbolizes money and wealth to illustrate “new diamonds”, “lavish vacations overseas”, and “West Egg in the nineteen twenties” (a wealthy neighbourhood). The fourth stanza is black, and it symbolizes darkness and nothingness to illustrate the “shades of black and white”, the “lost hearts” and night-time (the word “tonight”). After Gatsby dies, Nick realizes that all of the guests were in fact fake and phony. Nobody really cared about Gatsby and merely liked him…

    That summer afternoon, as I remember it, was doubtlessly a commemorable one. Breezy, yet humid. Bright yet shadowed by the monsters that the afternoon sun cast upon all things animate and inanimate. Even though my generation belongs to one of technology, I will always be gratified to be able to claim that my youth was still filled with sweaty foreheads and rusty old bikes.…

    As I start to run down my street, my ankles crack violently, so bad that I almost turn around but I can't, I need to run, like a engine needs fuel. I'm blinded for a few seconds; the bright rays of the sun seem to shine directly into my eyes. The light from the sun starts to warm me like sitting in front of a space heater. It has only been a few blocks, and yet I can feel the cool sweat form on my head.…
