From factual to descriptive with alliteration

"The music was loud. She felt like dancing."

1. The big, black and brown boom box was pouring out lovely, loud music like a bright, blue bubble machine. She felt like dancing around the room.

2. The shiny, silver stereo was pumping loud, long, love music. She felt like dancing slowly and sourly.

3. Pounding, pumping, pushing music was flowing out of the radio like beautiful, bold bees coming out of a bee hive. That made Liz feel like jumping and dancing joyfully around.

4. She felt like dancing scarily because the big, black, bold stereo was shouting out loud, cold, crackly music.

From factual to descriptive

"The wind blew. John was cold."

John was standing in the ice cold air. He was as freezing as snow or maybe even worse. The wind was blowing hard. It was like a hurricane was only a few metres away.
