Descriptive Writing PieceDue Friday, 3/15300 wordsNora: When I was six or seven he always brought me home a little surprise. Like a Hershey or a top. Hed tell me to go get it in his coat pocket. So Id run to the closet and put my hand in and it felt as big as a tent. I wanted to crawl in there and go to sleep. And there were all these terrific things in there, like Juicy Fruit gum or Spearmint Life Savers and bits of cellophane and crumbled pieces of tobacco and movie stubs and nickels and pennies and rubber bands and paper clips and his gray suede gloves that he wore in the wintertime (20-21).
