Descriptive Essay On Crystal Clear Land

Arizona is a beautiful place for anyone to live. Growing up in Phoenix has been quite the experience. I have had a few encounters with different animals such as snakes, scorpions, and coyotes. With mountains surrounding us all around it is hard to avoid these creatures. Each mountain has a different view to offer and they are the most unbelievable sites, especially when the sun is setting. The scenery in Arizona is something out of a book. It does get pretty hot in Arizona, but if you like the cold weather all you have to do is drive a few hours up north to experience snow in the winter and cooler temperatures in the summer. The most popular type of food in Arizona would have to be Mexican food. There is a variety of restaurants all around

The Confederate invasion of the North in September of 1862 was an attempt by Robert E. Lee to swing the war in favor of the South. The main reason for the Confederate invasion was that the British were on the verge of recognizing the Confederacy if they could show it could hold its own, and Lee was anxious to provide a cornerstone for the Confederacy to build upon. The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day in American history and was a major blow to the Army of Northern Virginia and the morale of the south. This is the tableau against which our story unfolds.

I wanted to see the fairy. I didn’t want to go anywhere else yet. So papa took me and when I saw her, she was beautiful. Unfortunately, she couldn’t speak, but she had a flute that she would play as an answer. She gave my sister and I a fairy stone.

The exhilaration of a terrifyingly glorious leap sends ardent shrills down my spine. As I fly through the thick canopy of leafy chlorophyll-filled greens, I reach out to the sky and the sun smiles back at me. Inhaling the fresh raw air, the earthy petrichor floods my nostrils with an indescribably sprightly scent; I thank the prolific trees for such a crisp, oxygen abundant delight.

I read House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III. This story is one of classic tragedy which also contains a nearly unbearable amount of suspense. It tells a story of the conflict between people of different races who have an inability to understand each other. They each want possession of a small house in the California hills but for very different reasons.

The hot, arid air burned into my soul as millions of needles pricked my delicate skin. Beads of sweat coursed down my face as I turned towards the window facing the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I were on an ever sought vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive from New York to Arizona and I radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air, yet my efforts were fruitless, swallowing nothing but fire. As my lungs collapsed, I looked out the window and into the heart of the looming sun, taunting me from afar. Suddenly, my eyes gave out and sweat and tears engulfed them till they took their true form. A forest blanketed with soft and gleaming snow, blemished by the phrase: “Only 10 more minutes.” However, I was awakened from my revery by a vehement cry as I gazed into the eyes of tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, with an unforgettably shrill voice. “Who dares enter our land!” they screeched dissonantly. Trembling, my eyes flashed over the sun and I was standing in a perpetual desert, with vulture's eyes glued to me. I froze with fear, though the sun baked my skin.

The bright, warm sun shone through the only window in Mrs. William's 5th grade classroom. Mckenna Green sleepy peeks up at the window and glances at the bright green trees and blooming flowers. She looks at all the beautiful spring colors and birds flying happily in the sky. Mckenna suddenly looks back down at her 35 question math test and sighs. All she sees is black and white, her least favorite colors. She then stares at the ticking clock, with several more minutes till school ends. Mckenna slowly drifts into a daydream, closing her eyes lightly. She imagines herself babysiting for the first time, something she had been wanting to do ever since her friends started to babysit. Mckenna sees her best friend Annie by her side as they watch Mckenna’s two-year-old sister Pennie play with her dolls. Shortly after, Mckenna’s mother Mrs. Green comes home and gives them both 20 dollar bills. “Thankyou, thankyou very much!” Mckenna says as she gleefully gazes at her money.

I blinked slowly and groaned. I was lying on my back on the ground in the alley. My head felt as though someone was pounding on it with a sledgehammer. Dizzily, I noticed that two faces hovered above me. One I recognized- the one who had… wings. A fairy. I felt sick as I stared at him. The other was a much older woman with jet-black hair. She had eyes so blue they were a royal purple, and they would’ve been beautiful had they not had a hardened, bitter look to them. She had the eyes of one who had seen much,

I was about to say we should go back to her house when a light began to glow in a nearby tree. Within a few minutes more lights appeared and the woods around us were lit in every color imaginable. The colors mixed with the setting sun and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. When the sun was completely gone the lights slowly disappeared with the colors in the sky until the moon was the only light left. When I asked Aria what the lights were she said they were pixies. I gently told her pixies weren’t real and I thought she’d be upset but instead she reacted like she did in art class when we were younger, except this time it couldn’t be because of her age, as she was perfectly capable of knowing what was real and what wasn’t. She looked straight into my eyes and said, “I know they don’t exist in this world but they do in others.”

However, the girl had not been dead, but merely unconscious. After 9 months she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and girl, with the help of a fairy. One day, one of the two infants started sucking on his mother’s finger and drew out the splinter of flax. Talia awoke and although she did not know how the children had come to her, she embraced them with love and called them Sun and Moon. The fairy helped her raise her children and provided them with drinks and food.

Life washes over those who expect it the least. One moment I was playing with the innocence of time, then life came crashing in and destroyed everything. With water-soaked clothes and tear-streaked cheeks, I returned home with the knowledge that life has no mercy. Life is not fair. Only the sweet sting of reality to my beaten down ego was my companion.

When the sun slowly peeps over the range of mountains, birds shake the morning dew off their feathers and give a cheerful song that would lift even the most sorrowful of spirits. A light fog wraps around the mountain range, reaching to touch every bit of life thriving there. The slight chill in the air is enough to give a gentle shiver, but not enough for the need of a jacket. A breeze tickles the trees, making their leaves shake and sway with laughter. Sunlight seeps in past the thick canopy of branches with hopes of being able to reach the damp mountain earth. The mountains are the best place to live to be relaxed, see the most beauty, and never get bored.

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.

She grabbed the things and went off to her room. she began to open the letter, she noticed that there was no key for the box just a note and a piece of gum.

I wake up on an island with many others. I count up to 99 other than me. Above me there is a screen that is counting down from one minute, some of the others around me are screaming and going insane but at least half are calm waiting to see what happens when the timer runs out. I walk over to a man in a light blue tuxedo and ask him “do you know where we are?” the man answers “An island in Russia” I say “thanks” and walk back to the timer it reads 5 seconds I count down the time then my vision goes blank.
