seven minute essays:

YELLOW:

Yellow symbolizes happiness and life. It reminds me of lemons and the sun. Yellow is a smooth and soft color that slips through our fingers.

CHOCOLATE:

Chocolate is a milky, brown candy associated with love. It can be a flavor of cake, pie, milk, or ice cream. Chocolate is a universally loved sweet.

Quote:

good job
I LOVE CHOCOLATE!
no comma between milky and brown because there are only two adjectives,
you should check but I don't think there should be a comma before of "or" because it might be the same as the rule for and

Quote:

Yayy thanks Samantha. :] Yeah I should take out the commas. ...

WATER

Water is a clear, pure substance that gives life. It can be cold, hot, or in between. Water is all around you, constantly there and never going away. Even though your environment is hot, water is still inside your body. Without water, living things, including you, would not exist. Water tells you the truth. If there are impurities, you will be able to see them.

Yellow is a color that I am neutral with. Chocolate is a candy that I like, and water is a substance that I need to survive. They are things that I am familiar with, but I do not know a lot about them. I see yellow everyday because the sun is yellow. Chocolate is inside the refrigerator in the home or the local store. Water is in the air around me, in the sink, and in rivers and oceans.

pure, life, everyday, lemons, slips, love, truth.

Everyday, something pure and obvious like love or truth slips past our grasp, and we despair over the loss, but when something as simple as lemons disappears from our life, we take no notice.

ocean ocean more oceaann...

A terrace overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The metal floor and railing both have consistent gaps to allow guests to see more of their surroundings. Wooden benches attached to the railing and pillows with Indian designs provide comfortable seating to those enjoying the view. A miniature, old-fashioned kettle and three cups sit on an end-table, ready to make drinks. For those interested in looking into the distance, a black telescope has been set up next to one of the attached benches.

The view itself is calm, simple and yet stunning at the same time. Blue ocean stretches out of the picture with almost white skies. The horizon is a definite line, but still soft. If the ocean were a few hues lighter, ocean and sky would blend together perfectly.

The metal terrace is attached to a house. The indoor structure is supported by light wooden beams extending upwards. Doors leading to the terrace have been opened. A rectangular bench made of wood and twine-like material rests in front of the doors. To the left stands a rough pillar about three feet tall supporting a dark brown bowl. The bowl is empty and has patterns all around it. Inside, the floor is smooth and is different shades of brown as color.

A guest has the choice of stepping out onto the terrace to enjoy the breathtaking view or to stay inside since the walls and doors are mostly made up of glass. No matter where you are in the picture you can still see the ocean. Nothing obstructs your view except for some pieces of furniture and the wall and door supports. There is no sun, only clouds and water. Since the house itself is far from the highway or city, it is very peaceful and only the sound of water slapping the rocks below can be heard.
