A Wedding Day Story...
The newly married Mr. and Mrs. float from the church doors into the shiny white limo that awaits them at the curb. As they enjoy their first 20 minutes of marriage on the ride to their reception site, they look out the window and observe “their” day: a day without a cloud in the sky, the color of pale blue for miles on end, and the sun shining brightly up above. They marvel at how the day couldn’t have been any better for a wedding day. As their eyes move from the bright sun to the moving cars that shared the road, they find themselves staring into an unexpected sight: a long, black hearse driving along side their limo. It was an odd site to see on such a blissful day, and as the hearse moved past them, the newly Mr. and Mrs. couldn’t help but wonder what the people in the black limo following the hearse, the family members of the deceased, thought about the day.
Your DO NOW: (Please write your response in a new Word document):
To practice your descriptive ability, and keeping in mind the descriptive model critiqued Friday in class and for homework, describe the day from the perspective of either the newly married bride and groom traveling in the white limo, or the grieving family members of the deceased in the black limo. Try experimenting with the various Elements of Style in your response.
