Answer:
personal narrative
Explanation:
If my mind were a place, it would be distant and unlike any other place. The weather would be sunny. The sunlight wouldn't hurt my eyes, it would be just right. It wouldn't be too hot either. The air would be cool and there would be a constant breeze flowing through the grassy hills that would lead up to the beach. The beach would be wide and vast. It would continue past what my eyes would be able to see. And the ocean would be clear. I would be able to see the fish as they swam past reefs and rocks and other creatures of all sorts.
Upon continuation of that thought, there would be no one else there except me. Unless, of course, I wanted people there. But my mind would be a rural place, were outsiders would not be welcome. It would just be me, and my house on my beach, unless I decided to give them the directions there. My house would be beautiful, able to withstand any weather that would be possible. Hurricanes of any size and any type. My house would be whatever color I want, depending on the day or how I'm feeling. I wouldn't even have to paint it. It would just change effortlessly, like my emotions.
Nevertheless, as beautiful as my mind sounds, that doesn't mean that the place couldn't change. Hurricanes could show up, and while my house would be fine, the area surrounding it wouldn't. Loud noise and crazy thoughts might swarm my mind which would look like tropical storms and fierce winds. Any surrounding animals or natural life would be temporarily affected, maybe even ruined. Which is why it is a good idea to keep my place distant, far away from any people, or any storms. My beach would be kept pristine and beautiful, with it in even better condition than my house. The animals would be at ease, and so would the sky.
