Question Posted Tuesday December 29 2009, 5:19 pm

I need to make a scene for one of my homework assignments and I just don't know were to start. I need help thinking of ideas for a vivid scene that I would do.
Here is what the assignment is asking for:

Now write your own scene with vivid atmosphere - it doesn’t have to be spooky! Limit your scene to no more than three paragraphs. You may use dialogue, if appropriate.

Create a first-person narrator (the main character tells the story using “I”) and imagine a vivid scene for him or her.

Imagine all of the senses involved in your scene---sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Use your narrator’s reaction to the atmosphere to help your reader experience it directly.

Write vivid descriptions using strong nouns and verbs as well as adjectives.

A well-chosen metaphor, simile, allusion, or personification can capture the feeling of a place.

Sometimes describing what isn’t visible is the best way to create atmosphere. Is there a hidden aspect to the place you’ve invented that your reader should know about?

Thanks:)

Imagine your own world, your dream world.
I drummed my fingers while simultaneously tapping my foot against the dirty tile floor. I tried to focus on my school work but my eyes found the imaginary images on my desk much more appeasing. My stomach growled as the smell of greasy, cheesy, ever-so-tasty pizza seeped under the classroom door and wavered right under my nose. I yawned and my head fell back against my shoulders. try something more.

I say go outside or to a mall or park or where ever. Pick a spot, close your eyes and listen to what you hear, smell, etc. Bring a small pad of paper and write it down. Sit in one place for 5 - 10 minutes and jot down your info.

Hope that helps.
