Descriptive Essay About My Kitchen
Laughter, sizzling, the clinking of wine glasses and the crunching of chips float down the hallway.
The smell of good food made with cumin and love. The kitchen is a place of joy and family, a
place of sharing our days and silently scarfing Mom's chicken tacos. Many of the greatest moments
in my life have been in my kitchen: cooking pork ribs with my dad and listening to his ridiculous old
rock music, opening my first college acceptance letter, learning we were moving to Munich. Many of
the worst times have been in the kitchen, too.
"Uncle Dan died in Thailand."
"Bampa's dementia has gotten so much worse."
The beauty of the kitchen is, the bad is overshadowed by the good. The warmth of bread in the oven
and the smell of sizzling chicken and caramelized onions on the stovetop are soothing, familiar,
calming. It's a place of happy memories and reminders of difficult times, a place of recovery and
love and growth.
Putting away dishes is one of my favorite jobs because it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the
personality of each dish. The ceramic blue and brown cups with the triangular designs and a certain
heaviness to them are from Botswana. They live in the cabinet above the coffee maker with the
matte black and orange cups that my dad brings home from work, and the white glass mugs that
my mom uses that we bought at Walmart because "they're just going to get broken anyways!" The
big ceramic teal bowl in the red cabinet was made in Nevada at Planet X, a hippie shop in

Descriptive Personal Experience Essay
So, there I sat, seat G4 on the train headed to nowhere. I didn't have a destination; I never really
did. I guess that's just the type of person I was, someone who just hopped on a train for the ride. I
always liked trains. I don't know what it was about them, but for some reason or another, I always
found myself lounging in the same spot drinking hot cocoa. People always said that hot chocolate
"was only for kids" but I never got that; I had a pretty strong distaste for coffee. Honestly, I hate it,
the way it makes your teeth gritty to the point where you need something else to drink. I can't even
enjoy a cup unless it's lighter than my own skin tone, which, by the way, is pretty pale. I mean I
wouldn't call myself pasty but... Anyhow, it...show more content...
My mother raised me right, so I understood how wrong this was, but don't worry, nothing I had been
thinking was going to leave my thick skull. Most of the people on the train were older women with
their children, but next to me was a man. His eyes, like mine, matched his hair in blackness.
However creepy, I always found this feature refreshing, in the way that one finds a black cat. I
named this man Frank and created a story for him when another man caught my eye. It was his
coat. It was an expensive Ted Baker peacoat which was impressive for how young he was. I
worked out frequently and could tell by his body that he had been skipping leg day. His chest,
however, was ridiculously huge, almost as if it wasn't even real. My eyes drifted towards the
right of the train. I began to critique a young blonde when the man with the jacket began to walk
in my direction. He was walking fast, darting straight to the bathroom when his coat flap floated
up. I couldn't believe what I saw; it looked like a homemade bomb strapped to his chest. Spending
the next few minutes convincing myself that what I just saw wasn't what I thought it was, I began
to panic. Next thing I know, he's busting out of the bathroom with a gun and I was forced to
prepare for what was going to happen next. It didn't take long for everybody on the train to panic.
It rushed through each row as the sobs and cries made their way to every passenger. It was an
orchestra of agony and it

Descriptive Essay About My Bedroom
I'm sitting in my room that I have now, taking some time, and imagining what my magical
bedroom would be like. My magical, imaginary bedroom would be out of this world, extraordinary.
Something many people probably dream about, but know they would not, or could not have. It
would be a dream come true if I could actually have a bedroom like this. I also wished my family
and I could live in an extremely big house. With many rooms, such as, a big kitchen, a two car
garage, 3 bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms, one for guests. My bedroom would be a bedroom as big as a
parents master bedroom. It would be a decent size, and have lots of spacious area. The walls would
be a light, baby blue, and it would have a few gray accents. I would have signs, and little decorations
on the walls. As soon as you walked in from the door you would feel very soft, furry carpet, that was
gray with a mix of white. As soon as you looked up from the beautifully laid carpet, a few feet to
your left would be a vanity with bright ring lights, and makeup mirror lights. All of my makeup
brushes would be in a section, with foundation and other makeup products organized as well. There
would be a bar wear I would put my curling irons, and my straightener. There would be a very
comfy, fluffy chair I would sit on as I was doing my hair and makeup. The chair would be as fluffy
as a polar bear's fur. There would be a greatly beautiful designed rug with baby blue, and gray
designs. Next to that a few feet away there would be a glass desk, that I did my homework on.
There'd be a jar of pens and pencils, a place for markers and scissors, as well as extra paper for all of
my work. As you went farther you would see my vintage gray dresser, with my most favorite
perfumes, and my Ocean Breeze deodorant. As well as a lint roller, and a few picture frames with
family pictures in it. My alarm clock would be atop my dresser too. As well as my hair brush, and a
few decorative things. To the right of my dresser, against my wall would be my bed. It would be a
queen sized bed, with a massaging mattress. I would have loads and bulks of different blankets.
Some heated, many fluffy, and some silky. I would have around 7 different pillows, and a few
stuffed animals, like

Descriptive Essay On Dystopia
Dystopian Setting
The city that once had homed thousands and been the most economically successful country ever,
was now a contaminated wasteland. The land looked dry, destroyed and lonely. The morning
breeze felt like crying sorrows, and the grey deceitful sky awed down at us. In the deepest corner of
despair lies dystopia where hope dies. As someone looks through the eyes of the devil, they see his
utopia. Only visible by the dim light of the moon was the great wall. Beyond the wall? No one knew.
Stretching away from the wall was a humongous bridge that towered the wall. Standing tall on the
bridge was a tower, which had two circles that almost looked like eyes. Those mysterious, creepy
and dangerous looking eyes stared down at the city giving away a haunting look.
The reek of death hangs in the air throughout the land. Filling the mouths of those who lived in this
abandoned land was the taste of burnt garlic. The screams and cries of terror undistinguishable
between beast and human fill the ears of the last ones living. The sky, which was lit by the glow of

black ash like smoke. Aggressively, the wind walked past the building with its cruddy feeling,
blowing away all signs of life. Deeper and deeper into the land was a burning car door. The fire
roared and crackled. The roaring and crackling of the burning car door merged with the aggressive
air and created the loudest sounds ever heard on land. Growing darker, the skies made me feel
nauseous. The fear of not waking up if a human fell asleep towered

Descriptive Essay About My New House
I looked back at my house, the green peeling paint on the door, the ripped screen door, the huge
window at the top of the house, from which you could see into my room, and I only had one
thought, this is no longer my home. I tore my gaze away from the house and entered the car. The
floor had so much of our boxes and suitcases, I was forced to lift my feet so I could fit. My
neighbors weren't home yet, so I wasn't able to say goodbye to them. I wished they were there.
I'd always been really close with my neighbors. They took care of me when my sister was born,
and waited for my grandpa to take me to the hospital. I was especially close to the neighborhood
kids; ever since I could talk they came over almost every week. I wondered if my new
neighborhood would be like this. The engine vroomed to life and away from the beautiful, old
house we went. In less than ten minutes, we arrived at my new house. The front was undeniably
gorgeous. The grass was not the yellowish brown brought on from the drought, instead it was a
lively green that I had dreams about running in. The fall leaves around the trees enhanced the
feeling of Christmas soon to come and the stairs leading up to the front door were clean. They had
no muddy footprints that I was so used to seeing on my concrete. I walked up the steps slowly. I
had a half–witted hope that if I moved slow enough I'd end up back at the Azusa house. I didn't
move slow enough. I walked through the doorway and into a corridor type area

Descriptive Essay On The Desert
The hot, arid air burned into my soul as I faced the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I
were on a long–awaited vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive over 15 hours – I
radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air– my
efforts were fruitless, however, swallowing nothing but fire. As the fire in my lungs grew, I
looked out the window and into the looming suns heart. Suddenly, my eyes collapsed and tears
engulfed them till they took their true form; a forest blanketed with soft, gleaming snow.
However, I was evoked from my reverie by a vehement cry and I was staring into the eyes of
tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, who recited a prophecy only I could hear. "Who dares enter
our land!" they screeched in a dissonant manner. Trembling, I gazed at the sun and was standing
amidst a perpetual desert – the vultures' eyes glued to me. I froze with fear, though the sun baked
my skin. "A meal for today," the vultures rasped flamboyantly, "cooked to a crisp!" "Uh," I sighed,
"I couldn't wait 10 minutes to save me from you repulsive demons!" I woke up like a corpse rises
from the grave, my red eyes flooded with tears. The cool air lulled my throat; dissipating the faint
memory of a raging fire and loathsome vultures scavenging my flesh. As the tears coated my face, I
sat up until a symphony of cracks sang from my spine. Despite the agonizing pain, I turned around
and the world revealed itself as a contemporary

Descriptive Essay On Poverty
People are dying every minute because of this terrible disease. No antidotes have been found to
eliminate it. Poverty is like an epidemic with no antidote affecting the entire world. It has already
killed billions of people, and will continue killing unless we do something to stop it. Have you ever
thought what living in poverty is like? Seeing a shocking picture in which people were trying to
survive gave me a whole different perspective. That image showed me one of the poorest areas of
the planet where people were living under despicable conditions. They were working in
sweatshops, collecting garbage and living in broken down huts in order to survive. A polluted
river passes across from their humble homes, causing incomparable complication to their lives. I
could observe the terrible conditions in which this people are working, fishing and collecting
garbage. Not only pollution is shown in this photo, above of the photograph a bridge could be
observed. I imagine the noise, and the dust that this little detail brings to their lives. That
photograph made me feel angry at politicians because they could do a better job helping the
needy. Since they were almost dying, I felt sad for the circumstances they live in. A sense of
admiration for the way they are able to survive, gave me the strength to fight against this global
scourge. The author of this picture is trying to convey a message, showing us poverty in all its faces

Americans, Mexicans who maybe documented or undocumented, and whites who are low income.
The houses around my place are mainly apartments and houses that look torn down, but it's not all

things, having fights, and have parties every weekend with such loud noise that why I get
uncomfortable when my dorm gets quiet because I never experience quiet moment for a period in

Descriptive Essay Trip
One of the greatest ways to learn about the world around us is to take a trip to visit new places.
This past summer, I flew from my home in Florida to take a road trip with my aunt from Roanoke,
Virginia. We went to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was an amazing experience to be able to visit the
place where my family originated.
Our trip started in Roanoke where my aunt and I made our way to Canada driving through the
night. Unfortunately, since it was dark, I was unable to see anything. I did, however, get to have
time to talk with my aunt and get to know her a little better. After a long eleven hour drive, we
finally made it to our Canadian destination. After resting a few hours at another aunt's house in
Milton, I was ready to become tourist for a few days. My first stop was Niagara Falls just north of
the Canadian border.
Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall by volume in North America; and is one of the largest tourist
attractions. Even though it was extremely crowded making viewing difficult; the experience was
worth the inconvenience. I was able to walk around and see some of the area surrounding the
falls. The town of Niagara has great places to shop, as well as, wonderful restaurants. I enjoyed
spending time with both of my aunts and one uncle. On the way back to my aunt's house we
stopped off at my favorite restaurant, Swiss Chalet. This franchise is only in Canada, which makes
it a must stop place for my family and I to eat. In my opinion, their chicken and

Descriptive Essay On Skiing
As I pick up speed I feel the wind push harder and harder in the opposite direction, but my jacket
breaks its bite. The reflection of the sun on the stark white snow makes the path ahead harder to
see; my destination is still visible, its dead ahead. As I close in I have second thoughts but it's too
late for that now. I lean forward to ride my edge and make a quick turn as I launch off of the jump
which sends me into a spin until I'm facing my original direction, 360 degrees then my snowboard
touches the ground again and I land it. Well, at least I planned on landing it. However, the reality
of the situation was different, I ended up hitting the hard snow with my head and shoulder. That
happened on my most recent skiing/snowboarding trip. I've been skiing for as long as I can
remember but the past few trips I have snowboarded instead. Skiing and snowboarding are some of
the things that I'm most passionate about, but the most important part is doing those things with my
family and friends. So, get ready to learn some knowledge about me.
Throughout my life, I have been on quite the number of ski/snowboard trips and even though a lot
of them have been in the same place it never gets old. I'd tell you about my first time going but I
was only two years old so I don't remember, I guess you will have to be satisfied with the story of
another time. Last December, I remember the long packing process and the boring drive to the
hotel. My aunt and uncle along with my friend, Austin and my sister, Abby were in the vehicle
with me. You could say the route to Hood River is somewhat scenic, but after traveling it countless
time I couldn't help falling asleep for parts of it. While I wasn't asleep I was busy chatting with
everyone in the vehicle which makes it feel shorter but it could never be short enough, I was already
excited.
When we finally arrived at our hotel, Hood River Inn, it was late. I immediately notice a
difference in temperature when I get out of the vehicle, but it's okay, I love the cold. Then we
begin to take in our luggage. Once we were checked in and settled, Austin and I headed for the pool.
We saw that it was crowded so we just decided to go for a walk instead, on our walk we spotted

Great waves toss and turn with great force. Rushing as they collide with the earth soaking the soft
sand. The ocean seemed to be howling as every wave grew as tall as a mountain. Slowly, the
water creeps forward, then lazily seeping back in the vast ocean, only to do the same over and
over again. The deep sea is a mysterious place where sea creatures lurk beneath the waves. Blue,
sparkling water is everywhere you look with no end. The humming waves seem to whisper as if
telling me the most confidential secret. You can never really hear them clearly until you dive in
deeper and deeper. I breathe in the warm air as I gaze out at my beautiful home. So wide I'm not
even certain I've seen all it's beauty that lies beneath. I can see the shadows of tiny fish swimming
above the soft sand. They are so small they look as though they are microscopic. I reach down and
run my hands through the wet substance that is so thick that my muscles grow tired the deeper
my hand goes. As I lift my hand up, the sand makes a cloud of powder, slowly drifting through the
water. The waters are so calm as though nothing could anger them. Each wave slowly rocking
back and forth to the rhythm of the sea. I lower my fins beneath the water and a coolness rushes
through me as I feel the cold, wet water. The soft breeze brushes against my skin with the scent of
an indescribable satisfaction. Hours passed as the warmth of the sun seemed to just soak into my
skin and relax my mind. As the day goes on, it

Descriptive Essay
It was a seemingly beautiful day as I drove on a joy ride in my bright blue sports car, with the
wind in my hair. This is an everyday activity for me. My friends would mock me saying, "You
spend more money on gas than you make working." I laughed to myself at the thought of jokes
amongst my friends. That happiness was soon halted. As I continued driving, I saw a car coming
rapidly around the curve. The car did not show any signs of slowing down as it headed towards the
intersection. The light turned yellow and then quickly red. Another object caught my eye that made

One of the police officers came up to me introduced himself, asked me my name and started, "Have
you ever seen this driver before? On the road or around town?" I quickly responded, "No, I have not

is considered the town drunk and does not currently have a valid license due to drinking and
driving". He asked me some questions and asked me to fill out an incident report. Still shaken up by
the whole incident I gladly accepted. The officer ended our conversation. "Thank you so much for
your time, Kevin. We really appreciate it."
The only thought running through my head on my way home was how much I had not
appreciated my wife and children. To witness something of that nature makes one conscientious
about what you have and how quickly it could vanish. I vowed after that day to speak out against
drinking and driving and the terrible outcomes that can transpire from something that some do
not view as a "big deal". It is apparent that better ways have to be found for getting drunk drivers off
the road. I encourage anyone to be responsible for their lives and others by agreeing to never drink
and drive again, and to also aid your family and friends in doing so. Have a designated driver each

Descriptive Essay About Death
I understood suffering and love and how they both went hand and hand when I looked down at my
father's gravestone for the last time. The cemetery was nice–well, as "nice" as a cemetery could be.
Paved paths lined the land, so no one had an excuse to stomp all over the grass in their shoes. You'd
think the grass then would be an untouched summer green; instead, it always gave off the look to me
as being half–dead. As if it could tell it resided in a graveyard, so it of course mirrored the only thing
it knew– death. It was a weathered day. Wind pulled on my jacket collar, a sharp breeze passing
completely through me. The air howled into my ears, screaming things I could not make sense of.
The grey sky was two large stretched–out hands reaching for each other. Layers upon layers of
ashen cloud lined above me, hiding the blue and sunlight trapped behind. Yet, the briefest of sun rays
broke through small holes in the cinder haze, only to illuminate the top of the aging head stone just
briefly. But the scene wasn't as off–putting as it would have been to others. Instead, I found some
comfort in the cold and darkness. It was as if the world was mourning his death. The wind, side by
side with me, in this time. I wondered then what it would be like if the earth could truly feel.
Maybe life would be less cruel in that way. Mother nature would look into me and see what lay

Descriptive Essay About Music
I grab the white headphones and put the EarPods into my ears. Then, I go through a variety of
songs until my thumb lingers over the song "You Know Me" by a band named Thunder Dreamer.
Quickly, I click play and the world around me stops as the music enters my ears. The soft guitar
strums put an end to my over thinking and suppresses my feelings of sadness. By the time the vocals
appear in the song, I can only think about music and how happy I am in this moment. By this I mean
that hearing music is the equivalent of being at peace. To be more specific, music puts me in every
place I've ever felt happiness, tastes as sweet as it sounds and relaxes my overwhelming thoughts.
With this said, I am on top of the world when I have the headphones in my ears. I feel as though I
can do anything when I am blasting a song by Cage the Elephant on my speaker. Whether I am
listening through my headphones or on a speaker, the volume is always the highest it can be.
This way, the music penetrates through the walls and through every layer of skin on my body. I
know this high level of noise is not good for me, but the music is. Uniquely, music places me back
into every dream I've ever forgotten. I am suddenly placed into the dream where I'm a kid and I
am laughing as my friends try to catch me in a game of tag. In a matter of three beats, I am a child
again and I can only thank music for this. Moreover, when I hear Frank Sinatra's voice playing from

Descriptive Essay About The Waves
The waves, the beautiful, calming waves. Their resonance, their slow rolling and crashing, their
white caps cresting over and plunging back into the water fully display the beauty and majesty of
creation from the shoreline. And their connection to countless parts of science is amazing.
However, as I have found in the past few years, the beauty of the waves isn't necessarily in
looking at them, but in being beneath them. Being beneath them, you feel a slow rocking, the
pressure of the waves above you, slowly pulling you closer to shore, then pushing you back out as
you hear them crest over and plunge back into the ocean. Here, underneath the waves in the
ocean, is a breathless reality, something amazing, where you can explore another life around you
to find or discover something. Although much of the ocean floor is covered in sand, shells and
living creatures are eminent throughout it, you only have to find them. It was not my first time
to Florida. In fact, I had been a year before with my best friend when I had first swam in the
oceans, yet this was my first time exploring them. When my family had announced we were going
to Florida that Christmas break, it was not the news I had hoped to hear. All year long I was
excited for Christmas break at home, the blustering snow and being able to snuggle up inside
while staring out into the white blanket. Even more so, I had been thrilled to spend the two weeks
hanging out with the love of my life, yet, as December 21st rolled around, I discovered myself
boarding my families behemoth of a van to travel a thousand miles south. Although the prospect
of the trip did not thrill me, it was intriguing to see where we were going and what we were doing.
Last time I had travelled to Florida, it was over spring break in the panhandle of Florida; however,
this time, we were travelling all the way to the keys, the southern–most point of the United States
without travelling to Hawaii. I can say I am thankful we did not stay in Key West, though my
family did have our fair share of stumbling across nude beaches while touring Key West. My
parents had picked a small key called Fiesta Key. It was simply a campground and sadly played
country music all day at the only spot that had wifi.

Descriptive Essay About My Class
When my English teacher announced to my class one day that we had to memorize a poem and
present it out loud in front everyone I froze. My heart started beating in my chest, as that familiar
feeling of panic began churning in my stomach. There was no way I could've done that. I couldn't
even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning let alone a whole poem. And I was terrible at
public speaking. Or at least, in this school I was.
I had transferred to a new middle school in the seventh grade rather than in sixth. My old
elementary school went up until sixth grade, so this left me in a school filled with kids who
already knew each other. And to make matters worse, I was really shy. I remembered that most of
the kids in my class were really loud and outgoing. All of them already belonged to a clique of
some sort and I was basically stuck as the new, and extremely quiet, girl. In elementary, I was the
total opposite. I was Student Body President, and that required me to make speeches in front of
the whole school every week. I used to volunteer for everything, raise my hand for every question
and rushed to read every book out loud. But here, it was different. I didn't know anyone, and I
wasn't too sure how to make friends because everyone seemed to already found theirs. And to my
little 12–year old self, this was a disaster.
Even though I had just transferred to a new school, I was familiar with this assignment. In my last
school, we used to have a "Poem in My Pocket" day, where we would basically have a physical
poem in our pocket and would have to recite it to anyone who asked us to. It wasn't the exact
thing, but something similar to what I had to do now. The task was simply, just memorize a poem
and recite to the class. The only catch was that the poem had to relate to you in some way or
another. It was an easy 100. But for me, this was much more difficult than it seemed. There were so
many questions running through my head. For starters, I had no clue what poem I wanted to
memorize, or which one represented me. The girl sitting next to me was memorizing Edgar Allan Poe
's Annabel Lee and that poem was about six stanzas long. I felt that everyone around me was doing
such a difficult poem that maybe I had

Yearning for the urge to see the sun as it moves around the earth and stops in Orlando, thi would be
the first time I get to see the sun shine its light on the dirt diamond and bring life to the blades of
grass that lie in the shape of a quarter circle. The sun overcomes the gigantic trees, leaving the human
eye to see the tiny drops of water on every perfectly cut dark green blade of grass; not a single blade
out of place. The dull yellow along with the tangy orange light behind the soft grey clouds, slowly
moving with the spin of the world, illuminate the diamond in such beauty and awe, too good not to
capture. The diamond is amazing; the sun reflects the little specks of dirt as if they are glowing.
Looking over the woven yellow fence, the clouds partially cover the sun and direct its rays through
the gap in the trees; it looks as if the sun is trying to hide behind the trees, but keeps popping out
like a little kid playing peek–a–boo. The sun that breaks through lets a white puff of smoke to
appear every time my lungs let out air, they breathe in the fresh cold air, bringing new life to the
body every time. The crisp air is blended into the smell of the sugary cake that was made the night
before at the building less than sixty feet away from where I began my day, and as it sinks into my
nose making the morning savory and sweet, I realize the day is going to be a new experience.
Although the wonderment of the diamond is breathtaking the view does not last long, for the

Desriptive Essay

  • 1. Descriptive Essay About My Kitchen Laughter, sizzling, the clinking of wine glasses and the crunching of chips float down the hallway. The smell of good food made with cumin and love. The kitchen is a place of joy and family, a place of sharing our days and silently scarfing Mom's chicken tacos. Many of the greatest moments in my life have been in my kitchen: cooking pork ribs with my dad and listening to his ridiculous old rock music, opening my first college acceptance letter, learning we were moving to Munich. Many of the worst times have been in the kitchen, too. "Uncle Dan died in Thailand." "Bampa's dementia has gotten so much worse." The beauty of the kitchen is, the bad is overshadowed by the good. The warmth of bread in the oven and the smell of sizzling chicken and caramelized onions on the stovetop are soothing, familiar, calming. It's a place of happy memories and reminders of difficult times, a place of recovery and love and growth. Putting away dishes is one of my favorite jobs because it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the personality of each dish. The ceramic blue and brown cups with the triangular designs and a certain heaviness to them are from Botswana. They live in the cabinet above the coffee maker with the matte black and orange cups that my dad brings home from work, and the white glass mugs that my mom uses that we bought at Walmart because "they're just going to get broken anyways!" The big ceramic teal bowl in the red cabinet was made in Nevada at Planet X, a hippie shop in Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Descriptive Personal Experience Essay So, there I sat, seat G4 on the train headed to nowhere. I didn't have a destination; I never really did. I guess that's just the type of person I was, someone who just hopped on a train for the ride. I always liked trains. I don't know what it was about them, but for some reason or another, I always found myself lounging in the same spot drinking hot cocoa. People always said that hot chocolate "was only for kids" but I never got that; I had a pretty strong distaste for coffee. Honestly, I hate it, the way it makes your teeth gritty to the point where you need something else to drink. I can't even enjoy a cup unless it's lighter than my own skin tone, which, by the way, is pretty pale. I mean I wouldn't call myself pasty but... Anyhow, it...show more content... My mother raised me right, so I understood how wrong this was, but don't worry, nothing I had been thinking was going to leave my thick skull. Most of the people on the train were older women with their children, but next to me was a man. His eyes, like mine, matched his hair in blackness. However creepy, I always found this feature refreshing, in the way that one finds a black cat. I named this man Frank and created a story for him when another man caught my eye. It was his coat. It was an expensive Ted Baker peacoat which was impressive for how young he was. I worked out frequently and could tell by his body that he had been skipping leg day. His chest, however, was ridiculously huge, almost as if it wasn't even real. My eyes drifted towards the right of the train. I began to critique a young blonde when the man with the jacket began to walk in my direction. He was walking fast, darting straight to the bathroom when his coat flap floated up. I couldn't believe what I saw; it looked like a homemade bomb strapped to his chest. Spending the next few minutes convincing myself that what I just saw wasn't what I thought it was, I began to panic. Next thing I know, he's busting out of the bathroom with a gun and I was forced to prepare for what was going to happen next. It didn't take long for everybody on the train to panic. It rushed through each row as the sobs and cries made their way to every passenger. It was an orchestra of agony and it Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 4. Descriptive Essay About My Bedroom I'm sitting in my room that I have now, taking some time, and imagining what my magical bedroom would be like. My magical, imaginary bedroom would be out of this world, extraordinary. Something many people probably dream about, but know they would not, or could not have. It would be a dream come true if I could actually have a bedroom like this. I also wished my family and I could live in an extremely big house. With many rooms, such as, a big kitchen, a two car garage, 3 bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms, one for guests. My bedroom would be a bedroom as big as a parents master bedroom. It would be a decent size, and have lots of spacious area. The walls would be a light, baby blue, and it would have a few gray accents. I would have signs, and little decorations on the walls. As soon as you walked in from the door you would feel very soft, furry carpet, that was gray with a mix of white. As soon as you looked up from the beautifully laid carpet, a few feet to your left would be a vanity with bright ring lights, and makeup mirror lights. All of my makeup brushes would be in a section, with foundation and other makeup products organized as well. There would be a bar wear I would put my curling irons, and my straightener. There would be a very comfy, fluffy chair I would sit on as I was doing my hair and makeup. The chair would be as fluffy as a polar bear's fur. There would be a greatly beautiful designed rug with baby blue, and gray designs. Next to that a few feet away there would be a glass desk, that I did my homework on. There'd be a jar of pens and pencils, a place for markers and scissors, as well as extra paper for all of my work. As you went farther you would see my vintage gray dresser, with my most favorite perfumes, and my Ocean Breeze deodorant. As well as a lint roller, and a few picture frames with family pictures in it. My alarm clock would be atop my dresser too. As well as my hair brush, and a few decorative things. To the right of my dresser, against my wall would be my bed. It would be a queen sized bed, with a massaging mattress. I would have loads and bulks of different blankets. Some heated, many fluffy, and some silky. I would have around 7 different pillows, and a few stuffed animals, like Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The land looked dry, destroyed and lonely. The morning breeze felt like crying sorrows, and the grey deceitful sky awed down at us. In the deepest corner of despair lies dystopia where hope dies. As someone looks through the eyes of the devil, they see his utopia. Only visible by the dim light of the moon was the great wall. Beyond the wall? No one knew. Stretching away from the wall was a humongous bridge that towered the wall. Standing tall on the bridge was a tower, which had two circles that almost looked like eyes. Those mysterious, creepy and dangerous looking eyes stared down at the city giving away a haunting look. The reek of death hangs in the air throughout the land. Filling the mouths of those who lived in this abandoned land was the taste of burnt garlic. The screams and cries of terror undistinguishable between beast and human fill the ears of the last ones living. The sky, which was lit by the glow of fires, is grey and empty. Decaying bodies and...show more content... As I walked, the air of this haunted, dreadful and sorrowful land had sucked the life out of everything and roared as humanity began to disappear. As I carried on walking, I noticed that the small fraction of light was getting smaller and smaller, until it had been engulfed into a think black ash like smoke. Aggressively, the wind walked past the building with its cruddy feeling, blowing away all signs of life. Deeper and deeper into the land was a burning car door. The fire roared and crackled. The roaring and crackling of the burning car door merged with the aggressive air and created the loudest sounds ever heard on land. Growing darker, the skies made me feel nauseous.

  • 8. Descriptive Essay About My New House I looked back at my house, the green peeling paint on the door, the ripped screen door, the huge window at the top of the house, from which you could see into my room, and I only had one thought, this is no longer my home. I tore my gaze away from the house and entered the car. The floor had so much of our boxes and suitcases, I was forced to lift my feet so I could fit. My neighbors weren't home yet, so I wasn't able to say goodbye to them. I wished they were there. I'd always been really close with my neighbors. They took care of me when my sister was born, and waited for my grandpa to take me to the hospital. I was especially close to the neighborhood kids; ever since I could talk they came over almost every week. I wondered if my new neighborhood would be like this. The engine vroomed to life and away from the beautiful, old house we went. In less than ten minutes, we arrived at my new house. The front was undeniably gorgeous. The grass was not the yellowish brown brought on from the drought, instead it was a lively green that I had dreams about running in. The fall leaves around the trees enhanced the feeling of Christmas soon to come and the stairs leading up to the front door were clean. They had no muddy footprints that I was so used to seeing on my concrete. I walked up the steps slowly. I had a half–witted hope that if I moved slow enough I'd end up back at the Azusa house. I didn't move slow enough. I walked through the doorway and into a corridor type area Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Descriptive Essay On The Desert The hot, arid air burned into my soul as I faced the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I were on a long–awaited vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive over 15 hours – I radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air– my efforts were fruitless, however, swallowing nothing but fire. As the fire in my lungs grew, I looked out the window and into the looming suns heart. Suddenly, my eyes collapsed and tears engulfed them till they took their true form; a forest blanketed with soft, gleaming snow. However, I was evoked from my reverie by a vehement cry and I was staring into the eyes of tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, who recited a prophecy only I could hear. "Who dares enter our land!" they screeched in a dissonant manner. Trembling, I gazed at the sun and was standing amidst a perpetual desert – the vultures' eyes glued to me. I froze with fear, though the sun baked my skin. "A meal for today," the vultures rasped flamboyantly, "cooked to a crisp!" "Uh," I sighed, "I couldn't wait 10 minutes to save me from you repulsive demons!" I woke up like a corpse rises from the grave, my red eyes flooded with tears. The cool air lulled my throat; dissipating the faint memory of a raging fire and loathsome vultures scavenging my flesh. As the tears coated my face, I sat up until a symphony of cracks sang from my spine.

Poverty is like an epidemic with no antidote affecting the entire world. It has already killed billions of people, and will continue killing unless we do something to stop it. Have you ever thought what living in poverty is like? Seeing a shocking picture in which people were trying to survive gave me a whole different perspective. That image showed me one of the poorest areas of the planet where people were living under despicable conditions. They were working in sweatshops, collecting garbage and living in broken down huts in order to survive. A polluted river passes across from their humble homes, causing incomparable complication to their lives. I could observe the terrible conditions in which this people are working, fishing and collecting garbage. Not only pollution is shown in this photo, above of the photograph a bridge could be observed. I imagine the noise, and the dust that this little detail brings to their lives. That photograph made me feel angry at politicians because they could do a better job helping the needy. Since they were almost dying, I felt sad for the circumstances they live in.

  • 12. Descriptive Essay Trip One of the greatest ways to learn about the world around us is to take a trip to visit new places. This past summer, I flew from my home in Florida to take a road trip with my aunt from Roanoke, Virginia. We went to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was an amazing experience to be able to visit the place where my family originated. Our trip started in Roanoke where my aunt and I made our way to Canada driving through the night. Unfortunately, since it was dark, I was unable to see anything. I did, however, get to have time to talk with my aunt and get to know her a little better. After a long eleven hour drive, we finally made it to our Canadian destination. After resting a few hours at another aunt's house in Milton, I was ready to become tourist for a few days. My first stop was Niagara Falls just north of the Canadian border. Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall by volume in North America; and is one of the largest tourist attractions. Even though it was extremely crowded making viewing difficult; the experience was worth the inconvenience. I was able to walk around and see some of the area surrounding the falls. The town of Niagara has great places to shop, as well as, wonderful restaurants. I enjoyed spending time with both of my aunts and one uncle. On the way back to my aunt's house we stopped off at my favorite restaurant, Swiss Chalet. This franchise is only in Canada, which makes it a must stop place for my family and I to eat.

  • 13. Descriptive Essay On Skiing As I pick up speed I feel the wind push harder and harder in the opposite direction, but my jacket breaks its bite. The reflection of the sun on the stark white snow makes the path ahead harder to see; my destination is still visible, its dead ahead. As I close in I have second thoughts but it's too late for that now. I lean forward to ride my edge and make a quick turn as I launch off of the jump which sends me into a spin until I'm facing my original direction, 360 degrees then my snowboard touches the ground again and I land it. Well, at least I planned on landing it. However, the reality of the situation was different, I ended up hitting the hard snow with my head and shoulder. That happened on my most recent skiing/snowboarding trip. I've been skiing for as long as I can remember but the past few trips I have snowboarded instead. Skiing and snowboarding are some of the things that I'm most passionate about, but the most important part is doing those things with my family and friends. So, get ready to learn some knowledge about me. Throughout my life, I have been on quite the number of ski/snowboard trips and even though a lot of them have been in the same place it never gets old. I'd tell you about my first time going but I was only two years old so I don't remember, I guess you will have to be satisfied with the story of another time. Last December, I remember the long packing process and the boring drive to the hotel. My aunt and uncle along with my friend, Austin and my sister, Abby were in the vehicle with me. You could say the route to Hood River is somewhat scenic, but after traveling it countless time I couldn't help falling asleep for parts of it. While I wasn't asleep I was busy chatting with everyone in the vehicle which makes it feel shorter but it could never be short enough, I was already excited. When we finally arrived at our hotel, Hood River Inn, it was late. I immediately notice a difference in temperature when I get out of the vehicle, but it's okay, I love the cold. Then we begin to take in our luggage. Once we were checked in and settled, Austin and I headed for the pool. We saw that it was crowded so we just decided to go for a walk instead, on our walk we spotted another one of Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Great waves toss and turn with great force. Rushing as they collide with the earth soaking the soft sand. The ocean seemed to be howling as every wave grew as tall as a mountain. Slowly, the water creeps forward, then lazily seeping back in the vast ocean, only to do the same over and over again. The deep sea is a mysterious place where sea creatures lurk beneath the waves. Blue, sparkling water is everywhere you look with no end. The humming waves seem to whisper as if telling me the most confidential secret. You can never really hear them clearly until you dive in deeper and deeper. I breathe in the warm air as I gaze out at my beautiful home. So wide I'm not even certain I've seen all it's beauty that lies beneath. I can see the shadows of tiny fish swimming above the soft sand. They are so small they look as though they are microscopic. I reach down and run my hands through the wet substance that is so thick that my muscles grow tired the deeper my hand goes. As I lift my hand up, the sand makes a cloud of powder, slowly drifting through the water. The waters are so calm as though nothing could anger them. Each wave slowly rocking back and forth to the rhythm of the sea. I lower my fins beneath the water and a coolness rushes through me as I feel the cold, wet water. The soft breeze brushes against my skin with the scent of an indescribable satisfaction. Hours passed as the warmth of the sun seemed to just soak into my skin and relax my mind.

My friends would mock me saying, "You spend more money on gas than you make working." I laughed to myself at the thought of jokes amongst my friends. That happiness was soon halted. As I continued driving, I saw a car coming rapidly around the curve. The car did not show any signs of slowing down as it headed towards the intersection. The light turned yellow and then quickly red. Another object caught my eye that made me fear what was going to happen next. A young couple started crossing the street wearing fancy attire. The first thought that came to mind was, 'they are...show more content... One of the police officers came up to me introduced himself, asked me my name and started, "Have you ever seen this driver before? On the road or around town?" I quickly responded, "No, I have not officer." He continued, "I learned from the call back to the station that the driver, David Chrisenger, is considered the town drunk and does not currently have a valid license due to drinking and driving". He asked me some questions and asked me to fill out an incident report. Still shaken up by the whole incident I gladly accepted. The officer ended our conversation. "Thank you so much for your time, Kevin. We really appreciate it." The only thought running through my head on my way home was how much I had not appreciated my wife and children. To witness something of that nature makes one conscientious about what you have and how quickly it could vanish. I vowed after that day to speak out against drinking and driving and the terrible outcomes that can transpire from something that some do not view as a "big deal". It is apparent that better ways have to be found for getting drunk drivers off the road. I encourage anyone to be responsible for their lives and others by agreeing to never drink and drive again, and to also aid your family and friends in doing so. Have a designated driver each night or call a cab. Everyone is capable of saving a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. Descriptive Essay About Death I understood suffering and love and how they both went hand and hand when I looked down at my father's gravestone for the last time. The cemetery was nice–well, as "nice" as a cemetery could be. Paved paths lined the land, so no one had an excuse to stomp all over the grass in their shoes. You'd think the grass then would be an untouched summer green; instead, it always gave off the look to me as being half–dead. As if it could tell it resided in a graveyard, so it of course mirrored the only thing it knew– death. It was a weathered day. Wind pulled on my jacket collar, a sharp breeze passing completely through me. The air howled into my ears, screaming things I could not make sense of. The grey sky was two large stretched–out hands reaching for each other. Layers upon layers of ashen cloud lined above me, hiding the blue and sunlight trapped behind. Yet, the briefest of sun rays broke through small holes in the cinder haze, only to illuminate the top of the aging head stone just briefly. But the scene wasn't as off–putting as it would have been to others. Instead, I found some comfort in the cold and darkness. It was as if the world was mourning his death. The wind, side by side with me, in this time. I wondered then what it would be like if the earth could truly feel. Maybe life would be less cruel in that way. Mother nature would look into me and see what lay beneath–a young boy hidden in my shadow casted onto the ground. A young boy with eyes down pouring like the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Descriptive Essay About Music I grab the white headphones and put the EarPods into my ears. Then, I go through a variety of songs until my thumb lingers over the song "You Know Me" by a band named Thunder Dreamer. Quickly, I click play and the world around me stops as the music enters my ears. The soft guitar strums put an end to my over thinking and suppresses my feelings of sadness. By the time the vocals appear in the song, I can only think about music and how happy I am in this moment. By this I mean that hearing music is the equivalent of being at peace. To be more specific, music puts me in every place I've ever felt happiness, tastes as sweet as it sounds and relaxes my overwhelming thoughts. With this said, I am on top of the world when I have the headphones in my ears. I feel as though I can do anything when I am blasting a song by Cage the Elephant on my speaker. Whether I am listening through my headphones or on a speaker, the volume is always the highest it can be. This way, the music penetrates through the walls and through every layer of skin on my body. I know this high level of noise is not good for me, but the music is. Uniquely, music places me back into every dream I've ever forgotten. I am suddenly placed into the dream where I'm a kid and I am laughing as my friends try to catch me in a game of tag. In a matter of three beats, I am a child again and I can only thank music for this. Moreover, when I hear Frank Sinatra's voice playing from my "Classics" playlist, I am put back into the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Descriptive Essay About The Waves The waves, the beautiful, calming waves. Their resonance, their slow rolling and crashing, their white caps cresting over and plunging back into the water fully display the beauty and majesty of creation from the shoreline. And their connection to countless parts of science is amazing. However, as I have found in the past few years, the beauty of the waves isn't necessarily in looking at them, but in being beneath them. Being beneath them, you feel a slow rocking, the pressure of the waves above you, slowly pulling you closer to shore, then pushing you back out as you hear them crest over and plunge back into the ocean. Here, underneath the waves in the ocean, is a breathless reality, something amazing, where you can explore another life around you to find or discover something. Although much of the ocean floor is covered in sand, shells and living creatures are eminent throughout it, you only have to find them. It was not my first time to Florida. In fact, I had been a year before with my best friend when I had first swam in the oceans, yet this was my first time exploring them. When my family had announced we were going to Florida that Christmas break, it was not the news I had hoped to hear. All year long I was excited for Christmas break at home, the blustering snow and being able to snuggle up inside while staring out into the white blanket. Even more so, I had been thrilled to spend the two weeks hanging out with the love of my life, yet, as December 21st rolled around, I discovered myself boarding my families behemoth of a van to travel a thousand miles south. Although the prospect of the trip did not thrill me, it was intriguing to see where we were going and what we were doing. Last time I had travelled to Florida, it was over spring break in the panhandle of Florida; however, this time, we were travelling all the way to the keys, the southern–most point of the United States without travelling to Hawaii. I can say I am thankful we did not stay in Key West, though my family did have our fair share of stumbling across nude beaches while touring Key West. My parents had picked a small key called Fiesta Key. It was simply a campground and sadly played country music all day at the only spot that had wifi. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Descriptive Essay About My Class When my English teacher announced to my class one day that we had to memorize a poem and present it out loud in front everyone I froze. My heart started beating in my chest, as that familiar feeling of panic began churning in my stomach. There was no way I could've done that. I couldn't even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning let alone a whole poem. And I was terrible at public speaking. Or at least, in this school I was. I had transferred to a new middle school in the seventh grade rather than in sixth. My old elementary school went up until sixth grade, so this left me in a school filled with kids who already knew each other. And to make matters worse, I was really shy. I remembered that most of the kids in my class were really loud and outgoing. All of them already belonged to a clique of some sort and I was basically stuck as the new, and extremely quiet, girl. In elementary, I was the total opposite. I was Student Body President, and that required me to make speeches in front of the whole school every week. I used to volunteer for everything, raise my hand for every question and rushed to read every book out loud. But here, it was different. I didn't know anyone, and I wasn't too sure how to make friends because everyone seemed to already found theirs. And to my little 12–year old self, this was a disaster. Even though I had just transferred to a new school, I was familiar with this assignment. In my last school, we used to have a "Poem in My Pocket" day, where we would basically have a physical poem in our pocket and would have to recite it to anyone who asked us to. It wasn't the exact thing, but something similar to what I had to do now. The task was simply, just memorize a poem and recite to the class. The only catch was that the poem had to relate to you in some way or another. It was an easy 100. But for me, this was much more difficult than it seemed. There were so many questions running through my head. For starters, I had no clue what poem I wanted to memorize, or which one represented me. The girl sitting next to me was memorizing Edgar Allan Poe 's Annabel Lee and that poem was about six stanzas long. I felt that everyone around me was doing such a difficult poem that maybe I had Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 20. Descriptive Essay About The Sun Yearning for the urge to see the sun as it moves around the earth and stops in Orlando, thi would be the first time I get to see the sun shine its light on the dirt diamond and bring life to the blades of grass that lie in the shape of a quarter circle. The sun overcomes the gigantic trees, leaving the human eye to see the tiny drops of water on every perfectly cut dark green blade of grass; not a single blade out of place. The dull yellow along with the tangy orange light behind the soft grey clouds, slowly moving with the spin of the world, illuminate the diamond in such beauty and awe, too good not to capture. The diamond is amazing; the sun reflects the little specks of dirt as if they are glowing. Looking over the woven yellow fence, the clouds partially cover the sun and direct its rays through the gap in the trees; it looks as if the sun is trying to hide behind the trees, but keeps popping out like a little kid playing peek–a–boo. The sun that breaks through lets a white puff of smoke to appear every time my lungs let out air, they breathe in the fresh cold air, bringing new life to the body every time. The crisp air is blended into the smell of the sugary cake that was made the night before at the building less than sixty feet away from where I began my day, and as it sinks into my nose making the morning savory and sweet, I realize the day is going to be a new experience. Although the wonderment of the diamond is breathtaking the view does not last long, for the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
