Jaco's Beach Interpretation

Jaco did a writing assignment for school and he chose to write about our recent road trip to the coast. I think he wrote an amazing paper and I thought you would enjoy it too!

Have you ever been to the coast in Oregon? Well I'm going to describe to you what it's like there in this paper.

There is an enormous rock that has a gigantic crack in it and the light that comes through it is very beautiful. The light is like the warm sunshine that comes through your bedroom window in the morning. It is so beautiful that it's like looking at a piece of Heaven's light.

The Ocean's water smelled like a fishing dock after a great catch of fish. The sand was great for building sand castles because it's very firm and sturdy. Another reason it was great for sand castles is because the sand was firm but squishy at the same time so I could build really sturdy sand castles but it was easy to pat down. The winds were very hard. I could feel them pounding against my face. They were like storm winds.

There were beautiful rocks, sea anemones, seashells, and hermit crabs. Some of the rocks and sea shells were orange and others were white with dark blue with a black like the darkness like at midnight.

Did you smell the ocean's water, see the waves and feel the sand? If yes, I succeeded in describing the coast in Oregon to you.

That is such a good descriptive essay! I could totally imagine the rays of light and smell the fishy ocean.

I loved the paper! Oh to see the world through that type of simplicity again! I loved the beach pictures, what is sad is that I think you got more beach time then I did this past week. New Zealand was pretty cold, we did have one early morning on the beach, about 3 hours. I'll post pictures soon.
