Question

Pick one of the following "telling" sentences (or make up your own) and write a descriptive scene that shows instead of tells. Remember to include sensory details (as specific as possible—try for all five senses if you can!), action, and possibly dialogue. If you are truly showing, the sentence you pick below should not appear at all in your scene, but readers should know immediately which sentence you chose! The kid was a brat. Nothing I did went right. He was always there for me. She was so weird. He's always showing off. He loves to swim.

Answer 1

The kid was throwing a temper-tantrum, yelling at his parents, and not doing anything to help.
