Composition Ideas - Part 2

Innovative additions to the body of a
Composition

1. Using sound or action words

Example : Screech…., Crash…., Plop!. Thud!,
Ring…., Splash…, Shh…., Snap…, Splat

2. Using hyphenated or Capital Letters

Example : T-R-O-U-B-L-E , BANG!, OUCH!,
WATCH OUT…, STOP!, BOOM, HELP….

3. Using One – Liners or repeated phrases

Example : -

I looked for her behind the bush.
There was no trace of her.
I looked for her behind the pillar.
Yet there was no sign of her.
I looked for Jill behind the door.
There she was!


Something has gone wrong.
Something has gone terribly bad.
Something really worse has happened.

4. Creative dialogues

Example : “I….am…re..ally…sor…ry”, apologized John as he tried to complete his sentence.
“I …..can’t…brea….the”, she passed out before finishing her sentence.
