My Sensory Image Paragraphs

There was a huge, raging storm. The cold rain felt like it was slapping me in the face. The piercing noise from the thunder and flashing light from the lightening sent goose bumps down my spine. We needed to get to land. We needed to get somewhere safe. The boat was quickly filling up with water. My worst fears came to life; the boat tipped over shooting my entire family into the frigid water, leaving them to get swept away by the sea.

I thought I had died. When I finally noticed I was somehow still alive, I opened my eyes but my pupils were still dilated and all I could see was the faintest outline of a person. A person? Yes! I was saved! My family was alive – they saved me. When my vision finally cleared up, I realized I was terribly wrong. It wasn’t someone from my family, as I had hoped. I stared in disbelief at the person or should I say, being. This was no ordinary person. It had the head and body of a fish and the legs of a human. It was standing over me and, honestly, I thought it was going to eat me. Then the fish creature whispered in a horse, rigid voice, “Hey sleeping beauty.” I just sat there in shock. My eyes bulged and my mouth dropped at the sight that was before me.

Sensory Paragraph

I walked through the mucky water on the beach. It was pouring rain, and I felt chilled to the bone. Then the thunder started, I could taste my own fear. The water dripped down my face, and I could feel as it got into my eyes and started to feel like getting a terrible burn and then smothering it in disinfectant. I heard great crashes and smashes, but finally I made it home. As soon as I got inside our green front door I felt safe. I was so cold I went straight upstairs and ran myself a bath. Soon after I was sitting there thinking of all that had happened that day, with the warm waters trickling between my toes and making me so warm and cozy, then I smelt it. It was my mothers world famous cake, I got so excited for I knew that soon I would get to taste a piece of the soft spongy cake.

A Really Good paragraph

Every evening in the heart of night at camp, when we where completely exhausted and dead tired from running around and playing gaga all day, we would all collapse in a tangled, jumbled up mess on the dirty, underwear-smelly floor of are mouldy green cabin. We would roar with laughter and burst out screaming. We had a blast. Then we would gradually mellow down, then all of a sudden we would be desperate for food, and we would beg and beg our counsellors for a meal, but they wouldn’t fork over anything, not even a crumb. Our counsellors would steam with anger and go bananas because we always made such a fuss about how we weren’t tired, and didn’t want to go to bed. Eventually they surrendered and we got are way. We got to stay up all night, eat chips, popcorn, cookies… We didn’t care that it was forbidden at camp, we were livin’ for the moment!

Josha's really good paragraph

There was not one night at camp when we were not totally exhausted from all the games and physical activities. Every night we would collapse in a heap on the floor of our cabin and laugh so hard we would cry. We all had so much fun. It was only after the laughter subsided that we would begin to feel ravenous with hunger. Our poor counselor was quite upset with us for consistently staying awake after lights out. Tonight was no exception but we did not lose hope. Somehow we would convince her that it was in the true spirit of a camp experience to let us eat chips and all manner of junk food!

Sensory Image Paragraph

All I could hear was the crashing sound of the splashing waves hitting the dock. The bolting thunder never stopped but it did get louder, loud enough for my ears to explode. Then my heart started pounding just like a drum . I was sitting there on the delicate sand on my silky smooth white blanket with my head looking straight up at dark clouds. I felt like I was floating on a cloud in the dark sky. Then I started running and I sure was I was going to stop but then I heard my mom calling my name over and over. Then I ran back to her in the damp weather in an exhilarated speed. Then we raced together to the car to get home for dinner.

Yaakov's Sensory Image Paragraph

CLAP!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know what I was hearing. BOOM!!!!!!!!!! Everything started to shake. The ground rumbled. Everything was spinning out of control. I couldn't find anyone. I couldn't see. All I could do was stand there. But if you know me, I'm the kind of person that doesn't give up so easily. The wind began to blow even harder than before. Was this really true. Can this actually be happening. Then I thought I have found myself in the middle of Hurricane Katrina.

An Average Night at Summer Camp

Most nights at camp, when we were so exhausted from playing, we would all faint into a big heap on the floor, while we were all breathing heavily grasping for air. Our counselor would start scolding us because we ate foods that we weren't supposed to eat at camp. She would get furious at us for being awake after lights out. Counselors are so temperamental. Anyway, in my mind, there are two meanings for the word CAMP. Counselors hAve Mental Problems. Cool Amazing Magnificent Perfect.

As the plan was taking off the runway, I could hear the noisy, crackling sound, bouncing of the wings of the airplane. All I could focus on was the sound and the taste of my minty fresh stride gum. The sound kept getting louder and louder, every minute! Then I knew it, the plane was going down, fast. My heart was racing and I was sweating like bullets, it felt like I was taking an exam and forget all the answers. But then, it just got worse. I could smell the smoke and feel the fire burning my hand!! No longer the obnoxious airplane noise, was bugging me, it was the hollow feeling in my stomach, telling me that I may not see anyone ever again…

Noga`s Sensory Image Paragraph

There I was. In the middle of the night. My sister snoring like a chainsaw and my mother watching t.v. I could hear her weeping (because she was watching a romantic movie) extremely quietly because she did not want to wake us up. My dad was not home.There was a big thunder storm outside and I could not fall asleep! I lay in my bed as scared as a five year old. I wanted to cry so hard! Thunder then comes lightning, what will I do next? I look out the window then smell something burning. What could it be? I run to my mom and hug her she stops the move and says "I will get your sister, you get out of the house. I smell something burning"
So here I am in the middle of the night outside in the freezing cold rain, in my pink pajamas, my dark brown sweater and my black boots waiting for my mom and my sister.

carly: really good paragraph

Every night at camp, when we were completely exhausted from swimming in the lake, my cabin and I would all collapse onto the cement ground of our cabin in a pile. We would all burst out in laughter from our hilarious day. Then, after we were all breathless and calmed down, we would be awfully starving. Our grumpy counselor would be quite disappointed that our cabin was always awake after lights were supposed to be out, but hopefully we could get her to laugh it off and let us eat the chips and candy we weren’t allowed to have at camp.

Leor's Sensory Image Paragraph

Suddenly the wind changed, a storm was coming. The thunder crashed, casting an eerie echo, soon after it the bright yellow lightning danced in the sky. Rain started falling as I tasted the sweet water on my tongue. I had to get home before it got worse. I ran home as fast as my legs could take me. My parents were waiting for me, worried sick, at the door. I rushed up to my room, got in bed, and covered myself with the warm, soft blanket. As I watched the waves crash violently onto shore and the dark clouds cover the grey sky like a rough blanket I thought to myself: I am safe.

Adi's Sensory Image Paragraph

It was a freezing winter day, and by night there was thunder and lightning. I was only four years-old, and miserably frightened. Alone in my family's cabin in northern Canada, and I was hiding under the worm think blankets of my bed. I heard the waves crushing onto the beach sounding like thunder. Then the rain started, it was raining buckets outside, and it sounded like nails were dropping on the ground and into the roof. The winds came very strongly like giant is blowing on the town. Crash! Boom! The big old tree next to our cabin fell on top of it! I felt the strong wind on my face as I came out of the blankets. The winds were too strong I could not handle them, and then I fell done.

sensory image paragraph

A killer whale was rushing to save its new baby. It was getting chased be a tiger shark, when freezing water went in my face. It was like a sword stabbing through my eye ball. I was in a lighthouse hearing the thunder crashing on earth. Somehow the glass broke with a high wave. A small Tsunami with disgusting rotten seaweed all over the place was happening in front of my eyes. The thunder was like Greece going to war in ancient times, and it was very scary. A wave broke the lighthouse, and I went down with it to the Pacific ocean. I was drowning, but the mom and baby whale who survived the shark attack suddenly coming to pick me up to a shallow area. My eyes opened ten minutes later, I was alive. Its a miracle.

Jamie's Polished Sensory Image Paragraph

Finally! The airplane is taking off, I’m going to Israel. The deafening noise of the engines was making my teeth rattle in my head and my seat vibrates, I felt as if there was an earthquake made just for me! Suddenly, the airplane tipped and dived, there was a huge grey storm cloud right ahead of us! It looked like a big puffy pompom, but very solid. After I got a glimpse of the cloud, I didn’t see any more, just the ground coming, very fast, up towards us.
The thing that woke me up was the foul smell of burning rubber and metal. I could see bubble forming in the paint that was cracking. I couldn’t believe it, I was the only one there! Where did everyone go?
I sat up sweating, my heart pounding in my chest like a hammer on nails. I was stuck in a large cocoon and couldn’t get out. I wasn’t on the airplane anymore but I was still hearing the noise, what was going on? Finally I understood, it was just a dream! It was the rumbling of the storm that made me think of an airplane, I also felt the vibrations because, well, there was an earthquake! I just woke up from a nightmare, only to find myself in another one!

Gil's polished sensory paragraph

I hear the super strong waves in the water. I felt the freezing cold water on my face and on my finger. When I tasted the water. it tasted HORRIBLE. I asked my dad if we could go for ice cream when we got there the ice cream smelled like HEAVEN. When I saw the chocolate and vanilla ice cream I fell to the solid cold ground and fainted. It just smelled so good. I was so happy I made my dad buy every single one of them. Then I tasted all of the flavors. Then I fainted again.

I went to swim in the ocean with my friends. We suddenly heard thunder. It started pouring rain. All I could think about twas getting back to land. The sound of the running water and thunder was driving me insane. I couldn’t find Ashley or Hana. I couldn’t see anybody. The salt in the water was getting in my mouth. The waves were crashing down on me, my legs were numb. I couldn’t move. I was slowly sinking. Why didn’t I tell my mom where I went?

Izzy's Excellent Paragraph

Every night at camp, when we were completely exhausted from playing our favorite game, we would all tumble onto the floor laughing. We laughed so hard our stomachs hurt, and we would end up crying from all the giggling. Some of us would even pee our pants! That’s what I call fun! After the laughing fest, we would eventually calm down and before long we would find ourselves ravenously hungry. Of course, our counselor wasn't too happy with us because our cabin would continuously stay up after lights out. We tried to cheer her up (or even bribe her), so she would let us sneak in junk food. As long as we shared our treats with her, we were successful.

Leor wrote a story! (Bonus)

Mr. Linden’s Library
Or as I like to call it “The book”

My life is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t introduce myself,
my name is Kate, I’m 15 years old and……I hate my life. So, when I found this weird book which apparently has magical and dangerous powers beyond my imagination, I thought maybe it would take me far, far away from my home where I could start a new life without anyone to bother me or tell me what to do like back home.

It was a nice afternoon when I decided to go to the library to get a book for my history project. It was also an excuse to get out of the house. Anyways I was going through all the history books when suddenly I spotted a very odd looking book, it had some kind of weird symbol on it and when I picked it up from the shelf, almost as if he had been watching me this whole time, the librarian (who is later on known as Mr. Linden, I only know this because the name of the library is Mr. Linden’s library so it only makes sense that his name would be Mr. Linden.) was standing beside me.
“Don’t touch that book” he said firmly
“Why?” I replied rudely
“Because,” he explained “That book is not an ordinary book….”
“Oh well that’s surprising” I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
He continued as if I hadn’t said anything.
“It has extraordinary powers, powers beyond imaginable, but very dangerous powers” He said still wearing that stern look on his face.
“Like what?’ I asked, but by the time I turned my head to ask him he disappeared.
So, taking advantage of the fact that he left, I shoved the book into my bag and ran as fast as I could out of the library, I just had to know what was in there.

When I got home I bolted up the stairs into my room, slammed the door shut behind me and started reading. I read, and read, and read, until finally at 12:00 am, I fell asleep with the book still open on my bed. When I woke up, I wasn’t sure what time it was, I wasn’t sure if it was today or yesterday, and if the book was all a nightmare, but when I sat upright on my bed and saw the book, I immediately understood what was happening.


Weird green branches twisted out of the book, as if they were about to grab me. I thought of a fairy tale I once heard about a boy climbing up a beanstalk, at least I think it was something like that.
I remembered how the beanstalk took the boy into another world, far away from his home. I wondered if these branches would take me anywhere. Nah, I thought, the branches probably just fell onto the book from the tree in our backyard. But when the branches started twisting and grew even longer I knew these were no ordinary branches and that something very weird was going on.


I wasn’t scared like other children probably would be, with my dull life; it was about time that something exciting would happen. Just then I remembered another book I once read about a girl who gets sucked into the world of a book and has to fight her way back to earth, I wondered if that would happen to me. I tugged on the branches and suddenly the world around me started fading. I felt a sharp pain in my arm. My head got numb and I fell into a deep unconscious slumber……….
I woke up to a very strange sound and when I opened my eyes I immediately and definitely knew that I was not at home……
