Observation Piece 400 words
As I walk outside from the bright blue double doors exiting
from the McCallum High School building I take a deep breath and spell gasoline
from all the cars parked right outside. I see tiny little ants crawling up and
down all the milk cartons that sit outside. A car passes by blaring its loud music.
There are a bunch of trees with trashcans right next to them, and with the
trees being over grown in matches with the big green bushes over lapping the
ground. The sun blazing at 11:30 with leaves falling from the trees because of
the wind, you can tell that fall is here. The three flags hanging from the
poles swaying back and forth because of the wind. A tall guy walks out the
front door and is humming a happy tune, all the bikes chained up to poles
trying not get stolen. As I glimpse in front of me I see all the beautiful
flowers. Roses, Daisy’s, violets, and so many others. The rough benches and
poles outside with the hard rock shows are school has texture. I feel the warm
air the symbol’s that fall is here and winter is soon to come. I hear all the birds chirping in the air and
see them flying to their nests where they go and feed their little babies and
share food. As cars pass in the street I look to my right and see two little
girls playing the there drive way. Their house is a white nice house, looks
about one story. All the dead grass in
the courtyard tells me that it is getting cold. A nice lady walks outside
talking to the girl who sits next to me. Both were very nice to one another. As
I walk back inside I am breezed with a brush of cold air, as I walk down the
long and narrow hall all I hear is silence. I see a big shaggy dog whom was with a police officer.
They go into a room asking if everyone could leave to check the room. The dog
was a big blonde dog who seemed very friendly with everyone.
