Simultaneous Events
We’re going to talk about events that happen at the same time, or happen in the same place over a passage of time, or events that happen to a person over their lifetime or some combination.
Some examples:
The pure contralto sings in the organ loft.
The carpenter dresses his plank … the tongue of his foreplane whistles its wild ascending lisp.
The married and unmarried children ride home to their Thanksgiving dinner…
The pilot seizes the king-pin, he heaves down with a strong arm.
The mate stands braced in the whaleboat lance and harpoon are ready…
– Walt Whitman
A man is going up the ladder, and he has something in his arms.
The birds are so glad to meet each other, chattering on a limb.
The man was carrying a ladder, and, he had something with ashes in it.
The man stopped to write a letter.
I looked down and it was so beautiful on the ground, it was summer.
The crow passed by and he was hollering.
A bird came by and stopped and lit on the limb and started to whistle.
– Nadya Catalfano
We’re cleaning the house, the windows, the floors.
I saw the Africans swimming in the river.
I see a beautiful ship coming from the Atlantic Ocean.
In Jamaica and the West Indies we’re all playing cricket.
I’m going to Hollywood to get a drink of wine.
We’re having a big wedding in Brazil.
It’s coming spring now and the bears are coming out of the jungle to an open
place in the sun.
– Mary L. Jackson
