Kris had two humanities assignments today on scene development. Here’s what he wrote:
“Deep in the Amazon rainforest, the Amazon river’s murky depths are continually flowing. The river is crashing continuously forward between the emerald leaves. At the bend in the river, the water has turned crimson from a predator’s newest kill. The frothing, muddy beach is a dirty brown from the muck. In the icy darkness of night, the pearly moon barely forces through the break in the leaves into the sapphire waves. During tropical storms, the rain just patters down through the leaves but with brutal force. At sunset, the water is a bloody red. To the north, the ruins of a temple just barely peek through the leaves.”
“At Stonehenge, England the towering stones stand erect, unmoving, a testment to the ancient people. In the rolling farmland all around it, as the sun sets, everything is tinted crimson, like looking through a ruby. It often threatens to storm, and the sky turns dark and sullen as if thousands of years have just flown away. In the mystery there is beauty created by these monumental pillars and you have to wonder why it was built. Then an Englishman drives by on the A344 and mutters “bloody tourists”.”
His writting has moved from good to astounding! I am so very proud of him. Good job K!
