A Ballpark View
A baseball field is a heartwarming place that can make the perfect family Sunday come together. It is a place you can enjoy the roar of the crowd when a home run is hit like you do when you’re favorite football team scores a touchdown. When you come into the ball park, you will be greeted by a person who is either in a bad mood or a good mood, depending on the weather usually. Don’t be afraid though, they are very friendly. Once you have gotten into the game then finding your seat could be the hardest part seeing as there are only 20,000 seats. Many people spend half the game looking for their seats. Once you have found you’re seat then you will be so hungry that you must go get some food. The food of a baseball game could cost you a pretty penny, but it is well worth it. Whether it’s a man who has over priced beer or a cotton candy stand in the corner, the food is a must in a ballpark no matter the price. The people that work at the stadium are very friendly and are always willing to help. So no matter what the weather, ballparks are a great place to get away.
I wrote this paragraph trying to point out the great things about a ballpark. I know as a kid we went to a baseball game every Sunday just to get away from the everyday life. It is a good place to get some relaxation. I wanted to show how loud the crowd tends to get when a home run is hit by using the word “roar” so that the reader could get the picture. I also used a simile to compare the sound you hear when a touchdown is scored to the sound you hear when a home run is hit. The third line of the paragraph was intended to give a picture of either an angry person or a peaceful person when they take your tickets. I think they are either angry or peaceful because of the weather. I used direct statement to portrait that. Next, I tried to get a laugh out of the reader by saying that it would be hard to find your seat because there aren’t only one hundred or two hundred seats but twenty thousand seats. Then I began to talk about the food and how expensive it is. I used the phrase, “pretty penny” because I thought that would give a good idea of how much they really cost. The sixth sentence was constructed to portrait the different kinds of food there is and that it is a must. I kind of gave the reader choices of which food they would like. The last line is simply a review of my first sentence trying to wrap that whole paragraph together.
On the other hand, don’t go to a baseball game wanting to use the restroom. You will be astonished of how many people complain about how dirty the bathrooms are. They are almost as dirty as a mechanic that had just got done with an oil change. You will also be blown away of the crazy parking. If you are not on time, you will be walking a very long time. So don’t work out that day because you will get the work out from the walk. Once you have walked a mile to get into the ballpark, you could be waiting up to another five minutes to even get into the game. The lines move very fast but when you have almost as many people as a football game then it could take a few minutes. With there being so many people at the game, you bump into people without even moving. So whether it’s the lines at the concession stand or the lines to use the restroom don’t go to a ballpark thinking it will be a walk in the park.
I wrote this paragraph because I wanted to show the negative side of a ballpark. The first sentence I use a direct statement. I want the reader to know loud and clear not to use the restroom at a ballpark. In the next sentence I wanted to prove how some people are so astonished because of how dirty they are. Whether it is people missing the stall or people not washing their hands, it is just unbelievable. In the third line I wanted to talk about the parking and how if you’re not there on time that you will be walking a very long way. There is a lot of parking but it fills up very fast. The next sentence portraits how long you have to walk to even make it to the stadium. You have to dip and dodge cars and sometimes even walk through some grass. Then the second part of that sentence tried to tell you even though you got to the stadium sometimes you still have to wait to get in. This could drive some people crazy. The last sentence goes back to the point about the lines at the concessions or restrooms. The lines might be as bad as the girls at time, and we all know how long their lines can get. The second part of that last sentence kind of sums up the negative point of view. I kind of used a tongue twister there to finish and leave the person reading something to think about.
