Show Your Emotions



What does it mean to feel alone?


Using abstract words such as alone, angry, or in love,  inhibits the reader's connection with the intensity of your communication.  If you wish to write about the dangers of love, show an example with details that will make the reader think, "Aha, I know that feeling." Or, "Wow, what a feeling."  Stimulate the reader through the use of concrete imagery and details.






Produce a fresh connection to meaning with metaphors and similies. Capture the reader's attention and emotions.


Rage - Milk boiling on a stove
Resentment - Buried fire inside a volcano
Fear - A turtle existence
Determination - She had the power of rust.








Create word portraits for the following: Grief - Joy - Worry - Anguish - Passion - Despair - Wisdom - Courage - Loyalty - Revenge - Nostalgia Dismay - Trust - Bewilderment - Sorrow - Greed - Destruction - Amusement - Monotony - Boredom
