What is an example description of sunset?

a sun set is full of bright and lovely colors to brighten up the day they are usually formed during twilight

The sun, like a large, grandeur orange fireball in the distance was partially cloaked by the hanging clouds, which were all splashed with the random colours of hot pinks, reds and even hints of purples and blues.

The scarlet sky was spread out across the sky like crimson blood smeared smoothly over a large canvass, as the golden sun slowly sank behind the epic landscape. Glimmers of light reflected off the still water, sending slithers of rose coloured shafts of light through the forest below. Eventually the dimming sun was tucked away behind the rolling hills which rolled on endlessly. The clouds floated by in soft cotton like puffs of pink and the sky became darker.

It gets dark.

What techniques can you use to describe characters in a book?

There are many ways to describe a character in a book.

You can use personality traits to describe a character. For example, for a personality trait you could describe a person like this:

  • Jon was a considerate, thoughtful boy but was often lacking faith in himself.

Notice this example. We already have two personality traits, both positive and negative. The lack of faith in self is the negative point and the considerate, thoughtful is the positive point.

Another technique to describing your character is to use appearance.

For example, appearance descriptions can be used like this:

  • Kelly was a tall slim girl, with long copper colored hear that gleamed. She had a slightly pointed nose, and a jaw that went slightly to the right.

This technique is often used to describe a character.

However, writing is meant to be creative, and all techniques in describing characters are different.

What make a good story teller?

A good story teller is a person who can connect with their audience. They know what their readers or listeners are thinking and feeling. They can create emotions by the way they say or write.

Here is what Dr. Pamela Rutledge has to say about the psychology of storytelling:

  • Stories have always been a primal form of communication. They are timeless links to ancient traditions, legends, archetypes, myths, and symbols. They connect us to a larger self and universal truths.
  • Stories are about collaboration and connection. They transcend generations, they engage us through emotions, and they connect us to others. Through stories we share passions, sadness, hardships and joys. We share meaning and purpose. Stories are the common ground that allows people to communicate, overcoming our defenses and our differences. Stories allow us to understand ourselves better and to find our commonality with others.
  • Stories are how we think. They are how we make meaning of life. Call them schemas, scripts, cognitive maps, mental models, metaphors, or narratives. Stories are how we explain how things work, how we make decisions, how we justify our decisions, how we persuade others, how we understand our place in the world, create our identities, and define and teach social values.
  • Stories provide order. Humans seek certainty and narrative structure is familiar, predictable, and comforting. Within the context of the story arc we can withstand intense emotions because we know that resolution follows the conflict. We can experience with a safety net.
  • Stories are how we are wired. Stores take place in the imagination. To the human brain, imagined experiences are processed the same as real experiences. Stories create genuine emotions, presence (the sense of being somewhere), and behavioral responses.
  • Stories are the pathway to engaging our right brain and triggering our imagination. By engaging our imagination, we become participants in the narrative. We can step out of our own shoes, see differently, and increase our empathy for others. Through imagination, we tap into creativity that is the foundation of innovation, self-discovery and change.

How would you write a leaflet about a park?

I would emphasize the inner peace available at a new low, low cost; free. Perhaps images or even descriptions of the natural inhabitants, such as birds and squirrels would make your pamphlet appear more attractive. Available parking areas and proximity to main thoroughfares are always a hit with those of us who brave the traffic patterns. Walking and/or biking trails with breathtaking views and lots of shady areas during summer go over well also. Landscaped garden areas and possibly an invitation to make a small plot available for a 'community vegetable garden' might be nice, too. The kids today may want an area in which to rollerskate. Here in America, basketball courts and large areas of grass for football or soccer draw scads of people. Baseball fields, too... and try to think up a catchy slogan, like 'my park is your park'...
