In "Walking Without Shoes," by Marlee Vedder, the author writes about the first hint of spring after a long and tiring winter. The sentence "The snow is finally gone and the sun has been shining bright for three days." This is the introduction to the piece and it also helps set the setting up as well. It can be easily seen that the author of this memoir put a lot of bought and effort into creating a vivid and descriptive piece of writing.

     The thought of stepping out into such a refreshing and beautiful place seems so wonderful, everything just seems so new, just like people can feel recharged and ready to face the world again. Marlee Vedder writes "Today I am walking without shoes. I am letting myself reattach tot he world so I can become beautiful like the flowers that spring inspires me to be."
