A Sense of Place

In one of my college classes a few years ago we were assigned to write about a sense of place. I would like you to write about any place with lots of details. Make me feel like I am there too. Here is a link to the one I wrote for an example. It does not have to be exactly like mine; it's just an example to look at.

Normal rules apply and I look forward to your entries. If you have a prewrite that fits I am allowing it, but it must fit the prompt or I will DQ.
I look forward to reading your wonderful writes!

I may add more points later depending on the entries.

  • you would say that a room is nothing but a place with shelter from the cold and gives you a feeling of security, but mine is nothing close to something so small, my room, my place, gives me ideas, and a rhythm all my own.
