Beautiful. This place called Villa De Leiva it's just
beautiful. I’m sitting here in my chair wrapped up in a blanket outside of my
old-fashioned house watching the surrounding silky greens reflecting a homely
feeling of when my mother came here on Christmas. The sound of my coffee
burning in the background reminds me of my mom’s smell and warmth. I feel safe
here, the wind blows making my face freeze and my nostrils burn as I try to
cover them. Even with the cold air, I just don’t want to move as the evening
crashes down in my eyes as night comes along. The weather drops down
drastically as the stars are reflected in the river in front of me. As I hear
the crickets sing and the frogs go swim; I just talk to myself and think “Yeah,
this is the place where I want to be”.

This blog had a very good use of language which showed a lot of detailed imagery. It has a good use of language as well as structure. Talking about the feelings of the cold and the sound of the coffee shows the senses in a very good manner as well as gives detail to the the feelings.
ReplyDeleteThe author did an amazing job of redcating the feeling of home and nostalgia as the author for Lahore did. They give clear examples of how the place is nostalgic and that it is simply beautiful. I like the way the author closed it off, not only using settings but animals, reflection of stars, etc. This variety presented points out all of the wonderful points of the place "Villa De Leiva".
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of good description use. The whole post does a good job about notes on the cold and describing how it feels, the smell of the location, and the closing is really sweet too. The writer did capture the voice of the Lahore author.
