This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Answer:
Rewrite the following paragraph, adding adjectives to describe the three things you'd like to buy.
When I have enough money, there are three things I'd like to buy. First, I need to buy a trendy car. Next, I want to buy a big 50'' television. If I have enough money left over, I'm going to buy a beautiful lamp for my living room.
Explanation:
Adjectives are parts of speech that describe items, thus giving them more meaning. In the paragraph above, the adjectives, trendy, big 50'', and beautiful, add more meaning and visual description to the items that I will like to buy. The reader can thus imagine what the items look like.
Adjectives describe people, places, and things. Things described in the paragraph above include, car, television, and lamp.
