In class, I don't have you writing a lot of creative papers. Mainly, I am having you write the types of essays and reports that you'll be writing in college. While it's great that you're honing your expository writing skills, sometimes the papers can be a little dry to read. Therefore, today I want you to be creative. Here's your prompt:
I want you to describe, in detail, a dinner scene. Who is at the dinner? What are they wearing? What does the place setting look like? Where is the dinner being held? What are they eating? (You don't have to answer all these questions. They're just to get you thinking.)
You can be as creative with this as you'd like. Stage the dinner anywhere, in any time period, with any type of "people" you'd like. Let your creative side out for fun!

My dinner scene is in a huge house. The huge house is full of old artifacts. This is the house of an old man around the age of sixty who is a retired big-game hunter. He has invited a deer, a rabbit and a moose to dine with him for an evening. The old man is wearing a sweater vest and black sweatpants with a dirty turbin. The deer is wearing a pink sweater with a polk-a-dot collar. The rabbit is wearing a mini-skirt with heels and a tank top. The moose is wearing a tight speedo and a coconut bra. Theyare eating ice cube sandwiched and rat tail slushies. The dinner went well with no inconveniances.
ReplyDeleteThe scene of this dinner is the Grapevine. The youngest guest, my cousin Cale, is running around wildly, stealing lefse and cookies when no one is looking. The oldest guest, my Uncle Biney, is asleep in a chair in the corner. Everyone else is in small groups, chatting about family and town gossip. This is the typical scene of my family's get togethers. This time, it's a birthday party. The room is packed with relatives waiting for the birthday girl to arrive so we can eat lunch. 12:30. 1:00. 1:30. The time passes slowly once people run out of things to talk about. 2:00. 2:30. 3:00. Why didn't anyone bring games? Not even a pack of cards?
ReplyDeleteFinally, one of my aunts declares that we can eat lunch. It's about time! It takes about a half an hour to get through the line for food.
In the end, the birthday girl never showed up.
Typical.
Casey; You cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteThe scene of this dinner is in a medieval castle. My dinner guests would be a bunch of sweaty, bearded men who haven't showered in a year. There would also be some women at the castle; they'd probably toothless and throwing greasy turkey legs across the table. They would be sharing canned vegatables and mounting each serving with piles of salt.
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summer's day, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, members from "The Office" are having a picnic in the park.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is wearing typical office clothes until Michael brings out team volleyball uniforms; unfortunately he accidentally ordered smalls. So while the jerseys fit Pam and Angela nicely, Kevin's belly hangs out the bottom.
At the picnic there's sandwiches, salad, chips, and refreshments. Though it's a sweltering 90 degrees, Kevin thought it'd be a good idea if he brought in some of his famous homemade chili.
After lunch the volleyball match begins. Michael insists on guys verses gals. Surprisingly enough, the ladies start owning up on the guys. When the slightest sign of a rain cloud shows up, Michael quickly cancels the game and calls for a rematch for next time. I guess Michael will always be a sore loser.
The dinner would take place at the Krusty krab. Spongebob squarepants is the first to arrive, wearing his usual attire which consits of brown pants, a white shirt, and red tie. Soon after Patrick and Sandy arrive wearing matching black jump suits; Sandy of course is wearing her air suit underneith. Everyone's almost here, the only one missing is the guest of honor, Mr. Krabs. He has to be close because he took the liberty of decorating the resteraunt himself. Toiletpaper streamers were hung from the cieling, a used Congragulations its a Boy, with the its a boy part crossed out, hung over the cash register. There was garbage bags over the tables and, you could tell Mr.Krabs really was excited for this party because he brought out the special chairs, barrels "borrowed" from the shell shack to sit on. The place was totally decorated to the point where it was totally unrecognizable, it was amazing even though it didn't cost Mr. Krabs a cent. The guests were getting impatient, so they decided to start the dinner without him. Spongebob was just about to take a bie when Mr. Krabs, from out of now where, appeared and snatched the krabby patty away from him and asked "Did you pay for that?"
ReplyDeleteThe end!!!
This dinner is in a garden. There are ladies mingling in their sundresses and wide brimmed hats, and the men are strolling around or fetching them punch. The entertainment for the party is a tall elegant opera singer. She sings very high, and the guests politely clap at the end of her songs even though her voice just hurts their ears.
ReplyDeleteThe guest of honor is a princess. She makes her rounds throughout the party and makes conversation, using her dainty fan to flutter cool air on her face - it is quite humid today.
She sees a young man and makes her way over to talk to him. They take a stroll towards the fountain, and pretty soon they have found themselves in love with each other. They get so caught up with staring into each other's eyes that they don't notice a large bluebird swooping down toward them. The bird dives to take a berry from the young lady's hat (how was it supposed to know the berry was fake?) and the couple starts to flail about. They lose their balance and fall into the fountain. At least they got cooled off.
