Descriptive Essay On My Dreams

I’ve always felt a strange connection to the stars, one that I have never fully understood. I used to believe that it was simply the night itself that appealed to me. There is something so incredibly compelling about it. It’s not the silence, necessarily, but the way that every breath is amplified; it’s not so much the darkness, but the way that the stars light it up.

Second, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Jerry Spinelli's work. Third, I would recommend this book to anyone who is an avid reader, like myself, looking for an excellent book. I believe the overall message of this book is "Be unique". This message fits the theme of "Search for Identity", because Stargirl found

Furthermore, the author uses personification to develop the message by making it seem like the stars can move around and cause commotion. For example, Plath says, “The stars drop silently.” (Plath 4).

But the stars, shining endlessly, are there night after night, in the rain and even in the snow. If you just stop for a moment, on a night with no clouds, and look up, you will see this magnificent

The best part of a long, hard-working day is when you finally get to lay in your bed, close your eyes and let your imagination run free. As you sleep your mind takes you to another place far away from the real world. You begin to dream. Over the night, you may have several dreams. In the morning, you may wake up and wonder what your dreams were suppose to mean for you and your life. By analyzing your dream, it "gives a true picture of the 'subjective state'-how we really feel about ourselves-which the conscious mind cannot or will not give" (Wietz 289). In order to find the meaning of a dream, you have to pick out the most important symbols and define them. But you may be wondering what exactly is a symbol?
