Senses and tense Describe - as appropriate to the scene -
what you saw, heard, tasted, smelt andfelt - that is, use 'sensory description';
notice 'saw', 'heard': be safe and stick to writing about a past time!² present tense writing can be exciting to read
but it's far too easy to forget the time frame
of the present and flip back into the past -which is confusing for your reader and losesmany marks.
² Unless you are a very sure writer - av oid writing about 'now' - choose to write about
'then'

Pathetic fallacy Pathetic Fallacy is very similar to
personification. However, it can also be used
when the weather reflects what is going on in the scene. Eg.
If the weather is hot, sunny and there arepeople everywhere- it usually represents a
¶happy· story. If the weather is dark, cold and stormy-
you can usually guess that something bad isgoing to happen.

Example The window smashed, sending glass flying in all
directions. Flames burst into the room. I ducked,keeping my body as low as I could, tryingdesperately to avoid the smoke that wasadvancing rapidly across the ceiling. I scannedthe room for other exits and was relieved to seea small window on the far wall. The smoke was
getting thicker and started slowly descending tothe floor. My mind shouted, ¶Move!·. Taking a deep breath of clean air, possibly my last, I pushed away from the wall to safety. AsI struggled to open the window, I felt my heart pounding. My lungsscreamed for air. The smoke descended and I worked blind, myeyes stinging. I pulled franticly at the catches, felt them give andtumbled out onto the ground below. I felt the heatescaping from the open window above andstarted to crawl slowly away.
