Introduction to The Car Was a Mess

“The Car Was a Mess”is a descriptive paragraph where we had to “show not tell.” “Show not tell” is where I describe something so well that you do not need me to actually say it. I feel that this story is so describes the car so well that it will make your skin crawl. A good example of this is, “As I shoved the papers out of the way to sit down I saw numerous stains and an assortment of candy bars melted on the seat. Using one of the stores adds as a seat cover I carefully sat down and realized that my feet are stuck to the floor board.” This gives you an idea of just how messy the car was without saying the car was a mess.
