Descriptive Writing Assignment {Positive and Negative Descriptions} [‘A*’-grading, 2000/2001]

In this piece of descriptive writing, there are two accounts of the events leading up to a Marilyn Mansun ‘gig’: the queuing; the stadium; the weather; the atmosphere; and the man himself… The first description praises the place and the people, whereas the second account is an example of how a piece of writing can condemn; criticising both the place and the people encountered.
