Asked by Sara

We are working on descriptive writing and right now I have to do a whole description on a Old House.

Sounds: Screams
Howls
Whispers

Touch: slimy doorknob
sticky path
dusty windows

Sights: broken steps
Spider webs on door
damaged rooftop

Colours: Brown door
grey pathway
Blue sky

Comparisons: The damaged rooftop looks like an exploded volcano?

Could you please add a few more to each list; I really need help with the comparisons. Also, is there more to descriptive writing other than these senses, and comparisons.
Answered by Ms. Sue
You have an excellent start, Sara.

Sounds:
Squeaks
Groans

Touch:
Velvet drapes
Splintered wood

Sights:
Cracked window
Faded wallpaper

Colours:
Pink stove
Black mold

Smells:
Mold
Stale air
Stale tobacco

Comparisons:
Once proud as a courtesan; now dejected as a prostitute
Laughter of children now replaced by the sighs of their ghosts
My grandmother's pride; my mother's home; my albatross
