Descriptive words

The three words from my descriptive paragraph are: hairy, lumbering and eight.

Lumbering describes a large thing's way of moving and it describes its shape as well.

From Junior's blog, I really like the word "thorny" because it is used in a lot of different phrases like you are a thorn in my side. Thorns are usually pointy. I think what Junior was trying to say was that the papers were an annoyance to him so he just put them in his backpack to do when he got home.

Amiry's description of a brass "circular" lever makes me think of a door opening. It tells the shape. It sounds like a doorknob rotating. It's very, very descriptive and almost mysterious.
