Homework Help: writing/language arts

Posted by lamiya on Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 11:53am.

Hey!
I'm supposed to write a 3-4 page essay, describing something or someplace. So I choose my balcony.. I live on the seventeenth floor and using my 5 sense I described it as best as I could :)
I was wondering if you would suggest some similes, metaphors, hyperboles, personification etc to make it more descriptive and interesting.
Few things about my balcony: it's huge and there's a swing there. Looking out, well, you could see the whole city and the sea (Caspian). At night it gets really full of life and lots of lights shining etc.
Just please suggest some descriptions I could use in my essay.. =)
Please.. and thank you!!

The rhythm of the waves is a lullaby to rock me to sleep every night.

Think of everyday things that you see, hear, feel, smell. Then what kind of comparison can you make about that sense.
