Anne Morrow Lindbergh uses many descriptive details, including the “clatter of wooden clogs” and “heavy-head grain” to capture the Japanese countryside and the boat ride back to America. These details help readers picture the places she discusses and the people she saw. Think about a day in your life that you would like to describe. Write a short descriptive essay in which you capture the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures you encountered that day.
