Introduction to The Treacherous Waters of Money Creek

This Paper was written for our first out of three Major Writing Assignments, or MWA, which in this case was a descriptive piece. Our writing was based on how well we could describe what we were talking about and to show sensory details such as: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch. I picked this piece because it was one of my first writings where I had to use this much detail, which I had never really tried doing before. I think that I showed a lot of sensory details. For example, when I said, “The freezing currant felt like tiny sewing pins instead of rushing water,” gives the sense of touch, or the sensory detail of sound when I said, “The soothing sound of the rippling waves encouraged us that it would be easy.” I learned that this was a great skill to have to give the reader a sense of actually being in your shoes.
