Day 17 — Describe The Color of Sky Before A Storm Coming

A storm blew your uncle’s house and his 6-year-old soon died.

It was a sunny afternoon. The sky was so blue without any cloud. But around 2 o’clock, some clouds started gathering. By 4 pm, the sky turned to tangerine mixed with tiger and red. It was not totally full of these colors. Near the zenith was yellow and than tangerine, orange, and near the horizon was red. So elegant, so beautiful. It was like swallowing you in.

Ten minutes later, dark clouds came, and it quickly turned all black. The storm was strong and blew away my uncle’s house. It was not the saddest thing. My little 6-year-old cousin was blown away and fell down to the ground. With the sky getting clearer again, I saw my little cousin seemed to walk into heaven with the bright light in the sunset.

OK, this one was extremely difficult for me since I had no idea what the English names of some colors are. I could have definitely done better in Chinese. No doubt. But it is also a chance for me to look up the words I wanted to use. A chance to learn. And I guess this was why I wanted to do this project in the first place.
