Term 1 Week 5 (Literary Devices)

The view stretched for miles into the distance. Far away, the view shrunk in size and dulled in colour as the view blended into a thin, faint line of horizon. The trees stood upright as if they were sentinel guards, giving shade to those who needed it. These were known as the still guards, never leaving their position and never moving. The long, winding road was like a path in the forest, providing more convenience for those who wished to travel. The buildings were proudly erected, showing its worn-out facade of almost twenty years of Singapore's history. Part of the stadium looked like a walled fortress that ironically held most football matches. As the sun rose and a busy day began again, the trees were fondled by the light breeze, waving their evergreen leaves as a greeting. This view represented what was part of the Queenstown estate, symbolizing its beauty, cleanliness and serenity. As people began leaving their homes, the trees were not alone anymore. The day brought new hope, new desire and new courage to strive for the country's prosperity, peace, security and lastly, harmony.
