Senses and tense• Describe - as appropriate to the scene -
what you saw, heard, tasted, smelt and felt - that is, use 'sensory description';
• notice 'saw', 'heard': be safe and stick to writing about a past time! – present tense writing can be exciting to read but
it's far too easy to forget the time frame of the present and flip back into the past - which is confusing for your reader and loses many marks.
– Unless you are a very sure writer - avoid writing about 'now' - choose to write about 'then'

Describe this scene
relying ONLY on
your senses

Could you do it?
• 1) Pathetic fallacy is when you use the weather to reflect what is happening in the scene.
• 2) Juxtaposition is two random objects/ideas/perspectives moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity
• 3) Satire is to hold up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn. Also can be to use wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice.

Pathetic fallacy• Pathetic Fallacy is very similar to
personification. However, it can also be used when the weather reflects what is going on in the scene. Eg.
• If the weather is hot, sunny and there are people everywhere- it usually represents a ‘happy’ story.
• If the weather is dark, cold and stormy- you can usually guess that something bad is going to happen.

• Shattered! Can barely move myself anymore. The slow process of age, chasing me my whole life, is finally to have it’s day of victory.

• Yeah! This lot are well boring- seriously! Don’t care less bout this rubbish- I wanna run!

Example• The window smashed, sending glass flying in all
directions. Flames burst into the room. I ducked, keeping my body as low as I could, trying desperately to avoid the smoke that was advancing rapidly across the ceiling. I scanned the room for other exits and was relieved to see a small window on the far wall. The smoke was getting thicker and started slowly descending to the floor. My mind shouted, ‘Move!’ Taking a deep breath of clean air, possibly my last, I pushed away from the wall to safety. As I struggled to open the window, I felt my heart pounding. My lungs screamed for air. The smoke descended and I worked blind, my eyes stinging. I pulled franticly at the catches, felt them give and tumbled out onto the ground below. I felt the heat escaping from the open window above and started to crawl slowly away.
