longer see her papa as he walked toward the sea. But after sunrise, the sea would become a clear blue with hints of green deep beneath. Then, the tips of rippling waves would sparkle in the sunlight, making the sea almost
blinding. But Corinne’s papa was used to the sea. He grew up there. Grandpère
had been a fisherman, too, and spent most of his days out on the boat
with his nets, like his father before him. Corinne’s papa had taught her everything he knew about the sea, but she was not going to be a fisherman.
Corinne breathed in the scent of her oranges. She was like her mama. She
belonged to the land. (This paragraph talks about the color changes around the sea at different times of the day, which paint a clear picture in our minds, as if we are standing right there. It also talks about how she wanted to stay connected with the island more, just like her mother, and not like her father and grandfather, who were more of fishermen. These details explain more about the story and its characters, minutely, and makes the story more clear.)]]> 2021-04-19 08:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mannatkaushik123/kjuhc8cl687im2bx/wish/1432047038 asthetic https://padlet.com/mannatkaushik123/kjuhc8cl687im2bx/wish/1432230535

‘The farther Corrine got from the sea, the less breeze there was to cool her.’

• We can ‘feel’ the weather get hot and still.

• ‘...the sound of seagulls and waves had become the sound of chirping birds and animals running through the bushes at the sides of the road.’
• ‘The hum of people haggling over prices…’
• ‘...the chickens squawking...’
• ‘...and the cries of goats and pigs filled the air.’
  • These are some scenarios where we can ‘hear’ different sounds as we imagine the scene which is occurring.
