Imagine a scoop of white, velvety, smooth, creamy, mint ice
cream (asyndeton) bursting with chunks of decadent dark chocolate pieces
(pathos). As soon as it hits the tip of your tongue, your brain senses the
sweet perfection of the mint ice cream and as soon as that melts away, you are
left with hunks of dark, luscious chocolate to savor and feast upon. The second
spoonful is highly anticipated by your brain and your taste buds. Once that
second spoon enters your mouth, the flavors are enhanced to a point of nirvana.
Then the third and the fourth and the fifth and the final spoonful
(polysyndeton). Desperately, you maneuver your spoon, gently clinking the sides
of the glass bowl, looking for one additional morsel to devour. Alas, there is
none. You resign and wait patiently for another day in anticipation of having
another scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream made by Haagen Dazs. Eating this
ice cream is truly a wonderful experience.
It transports you directly to heaven for a short period of time and you
lose track of what is happening around you. When you are finally jolted back
into reality, it leaves you with sweet memories of that chocolaty, minty
goodness.
Many people love mint chocolate chip ice cream, but many do not want to try it in fear it may taste odd. The way this is written may convince the unsure people to try this flavor. It is described with mouth watering words, convincing that this flavor is indeed very good.
