Description of setting



A cluster of old buildings gathered at the port to send away the new ships that were about to take on the voyage of their lives. It was never pleasant to part away with friends you have just met. Tears seemed to stream down the windows of the buildings, as the bade each other farewell. The ships cruised down the calm blue water that were embracing the port. However, some ships could not bear to part with their sobbing friends, decided to stay for a little longer, and to have a nice chat with the buildings. A tall and lonely yellow building towered above most buildings, looking out to the sea, hoping that he will one day, find a friend. A green handsome boat was flirting with a blue gorgeous boat, while little boats chit-chatted with each other beside them. The port was a very bustling place full of life, do come and visit someday!

  1. Your description is really nice.By using personification, the buildings were as if like talking to one another or chatting with the boats. It was as if they had feelings and made the imagery of the buildings and the boats concrete. The personification of a tall and lonely yellow building better creates the image of the tall yellow building compared to mere describing. By saying the port was full of life, it shows that the port has a lot of people AND buildings.
