The scent of the sea and old, kicked up cigarettes essentially
replaces the normal taste of air, and a rattled old wood makes up the
walkway for the teeming crowds of Ocean City. In fact, Boardwalk 1 is
the oldest part of the boardwalk in Ocean City and represents a
landmark for the bustling city that grew in the area.(1) It is now one
of the biggest tourist attractions in the area, and should most
assuredly be preserved as such, lest the disrepair that the area
currently suffers from result in the destruction of the area
entirely.

I really like the use of imagery in this. I can totally see Ocean City when I read it.
ReplyDeleteAs a foreigner who has only been to OC once and in the midst of winter... Thank you for showing me the beauty of it but I do not see a pic or hyperlink! Fix before Dr King deducts!
ReplyDeleteYou gave great descriptions in this essay and I could imagine myself standing in Ocean City while reading this essay.
ReplyDeletei like how you gave a little history to show its importance. I also enjoyed the imagery in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI believe you should have added more personal touch to it. You never revealed your connection towards this place. Maybe state a time you were there!
Overall, great read! Thanks.
I like how it made me feel that I was in Ocean City. Ive had many good times there too!
ReplyDeleteI believe it could be improved with a more personal story behind it but then again its only 100 words, so its understandable.
The historical abundance in your post is very informational. I never knew that boardwalk one was the original deal.
ReplyDeleteI think some personal connections can be added to improve your post, but other than that everything is great!
I like the descriptive writing in your post. On the other hand, I think you should have made your title a little more relevant.
ReplyDeleteThe imagery from this post made it so much more realistic - good job! I would have liked to hear how you personally have enjoyed your time at the boardwalk/what experiences you've had there. Otherwise, the post itself was great!
ReplyDeleteThis post had a deeper meaning for me because of my own fond memories of ocean city. Very good imagery.
