Re-read the introduction from 'Of Mice and Men'. Follow Steinbeck's style and model of constructing the image of a place as you expand the writing prompt from this morning.

"Think of a place that has an affect on you...tell us about it" Four concert steps no different from others, rick dark brown mulch to each side. A rustic red mettle bar with a metallic silver underneath the chipped handle. A small slope to the side of the stairs reinforced by bushes, flowers, and air. A crisp white collard door behind without a spec of dirt to be seen. An new potted plant no more beautiful than a weed. A freshly panted sand colored house with open windows to each side there on those steps with the rough concert seats sat two friends no different than others, full of peace and dreams.
