er.But moment
1.“I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream (L11-12)”.
This sentence is descriptive, because it uses simile(明喻) to vividly show how huge the wave was and makes me imagine the horrible feeling of the storyteller.
2. “We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool (L12-13)”.
This sentence is descriptive, in that it uses rhetorical repetition (反复，叠言) to emphasize the fast movement of the boat towards the edge and the increasing danger the storyteller and his elder brother was facing.
3. “I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature(L15-16)”.
This sentence is descriptive, for the parallelism (排比) highlights how deeply the storyteller was amazed by the enormous power of nature and reveals his strong reverence(敬畏) for the forces of nature.
4. “Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining (L29-30)”.
This sentence is descriptive, because the vivid description of the scenery indicated that as the weather condition got better, the storyteller got out of danger. And he was very much relieved from the horrible experience.
The above sentences use a lot of rhetorical devices, which play a very good role in the description of the narrative.
It is worth our reference, and applying them in the continuation writing.
Imitation is the foundation of learning English.
