Authors are often inspired by visually beautiful scenes from nature. These scenes not only add
inspiration to our daily lives, they also remind us of the rhythm of the seasons. The glorious
transition of leaves from green to bright yellows, reds, and oranges can be visually stunning. Additionally, the
crispness of the air can be a welcome respite after summer's heat. In the back of our minds, though, we know that the fall foliage is temporary beauty that will soon be replaced by the stark, bare scenery of late autumn and early winter.
What do you like best about fall? What do you like the least? For bonus, include three abstract nouns in your response and underline each one. You may use the passage above as a reference for these, but do underline any of the abstract nouns from above in your writing.

I like many things in fall, one of my favorites is the leaves changeing color. What i dont like about fall is, when fall comes that means winter is coming soon.

I love fall. It is one of my favorite seasons. The thing I like the most about fall is probably Halloween because I get to go creaming with all my friends. I also like when the leaves start to fall and it gets cold because I can play in the leaves. Most importantly I can start wearing Uggs! The last thing I love about fall is that soccer season starts. Unfortunately there are a few things I hate about fall. Fall means that summer ends and I have to say goodbye to my friends that come to Cooperstown for the summer. I won't see them again until Christmas time. I also hate that I have to stop wearing shorts. The worst part is that I start to lose my tan from the summer. Except for the three negative things, listed I love fall.

my favorite thing about fall is how when you can look at a mountain see all the different kinds of trees and you can see that summer is almost over. My least favorite thing about fall is that it gets really cold when it's getting close to winter and we have to wear heavy coats, but we usually have lots of fun in the leaves.

I have two favorite things that I love about fall. I love how pretty the leaves are when they change color, and my birthday is during the fall! :) Emily Rodgers p. 6
Fall is a "great" season. I know for a fact everyone in my family "loves" it! I "think" the thing I "love" most is that Halloween and Thanksgiving are coming. I can finally get some time alone with my grandparents. I also "love" the "crisp" air that is coming from the "cold" and the leaves falling off the trees while changing color! The thing I "dislike" about fall is that outside field hockey practices and games can get a little "chilly". The other thing I "dislike" is that you have to say goodbye to shorts, tank tops, flip flops, etc. Otherwise I "think" fall is AWESOME !!!!

I love fall because all of the leaves change color and we get to see their beauty on the ground at one time. I also love running through the leaves with my dog. He thinks it is fun until he hears the sound that they make under his feet. Another thing that I love about fall is that Christmas is coming. Something that I don't really like about fall is that we have to start wearing sweaters which means that pretty soon we will have to wear winter coats. My least favorite thing about fall is seeing the trees bare.

I have a few things the I love about fall, first is that all the colors of yellow,red and orange. Plus just get this feeling to be outside all the time and run or bike for hours. Last the best sport starts... SOCCER!! The things that I do not like at all is the summer is ending and winter is starting. The thing that also bugs me during fall is the when I play in the leave I will get a bug like a cold or the stomach bug.

Fall brings a certain elegance to New York. The air has an interesting crack when you breath in, that somehow reminds of the crackle of gingersnaps. Since I am a writer and artist I love to paint and compose short works about the beautiful scenery. Inspiration is great during autumn and the smell of pumpkin cookies gets everyones mouths watering. Fall always gets me in a happy, cheery mood and I always look forward to the fabulous eats such as pumpkin soup, and pie, squash, and yams. I’m always happy when fall comes around because the weather is just so nice and the landscape takes your breath away. People all around me seem to be filled with optimism and laughing and enjoying the cool days that roll in. I also love the excitement in the air before All Hallows Eve. Halloween carries a lot of the thrill of fall.
My least favorite thing about fall is that it’s so short. We think about the cold winter season ahead and the months seem to go by much faster than we want them to.
Another thing I don’t like about fall is that some shops close because theres less business in the winter, but personally I think a lot of people would down to Italian Ices after a crisp autumn day, just to get a pretzel.
There really aren’t that man things I don’t like about fall because, after all, fall is my favorite season!

I love the fall. I think it is very _beautiful_. my favorite part of the fall is Halloween. I love Halloween because it is very _spooky_. I also like playing soccer. Another thing that I like about fall is that my birthday is in the fall and on my birthday I am very _happy_!!!!! Things that I do not like about fall is that it is the opening to winter. i don't like winter because it is very cold and _scarry_. I think winter is scary because you could get stuck in a snow storm!!!!
P.S I don't know how to make the abstract noun have an under line under it. So I just did this _ _!
My favorite thing about fall is raking the leaves and making stuff out of them.
Bobby H. period 6
The thing I like most about Fall is jumping into the big piles of leaves. The thing that I don't like about Fall is that it means that winter is coming soon and I do not like the cold but I love the holidays.
William Reisen Period 6
I love fall because its the prettiest season, especially when its peak. I also like it because that's when swim season starts and and I love to get back in the pool. a few things that I don't like about fall is the temperature drops and being outside is not as enjoyable like it is when its summer and warm. also when fall comes and it starts to get cold I can't wear my flip flops as much.
Tessa Griger p. 1
i love the fall one reason is because i love getting to wear things you could only think of in your imagination i also love hanging out with my friends. Another thinng i love is the leaves whent their falling from the trees, i also love the colors. One negiative thing is that it will soon be cold. I get so much excitment forom fall
Fall is a great season, I love all of the pretty colors that come when it starts to get colder and colder. I enjoy fall because It is sometimes cold and sometimes warm, so you do not know what the weather will be the next day. I also like fall because it means winter is coming soon. I usually do not like the cold but i love winter because it is very pretty how all of the trees dont have any leaves. Unfortunatly there are some things I dislike about fall such as all of the rain. I do not like rainy days. Also i do not enjoy freezing in the morning when i wakep for school.

Fall and winter are my favorite seasons! One thing I love about fall is my birthday is in fall. Another one is Halloween, I love going trick or treating. Espectally this year I am going to LOVE it because my pen-pale is coming to Cooperstown! I love the different colored leaves, and the sould when I wear my uggs through the leaves. I love the soccer season with Mr.Hobbie also!But I am also kinda WORRIED about the soccer season. But sometimes I just have to use my MEMORY and remember everybody makes mistakes.I am also EXCITED for winter to come soon! One thing that I hate about fall is when my parent make me and my brothers rake the leaves!I also don't like to stop wearing summer clothes like tank tops!But overall I am very HAPPY with the Fall!

I like fall. I lik fall because the leaves change color and it is pretty. I don't like fall because some days are really cold and some days are really hot.
Teddy T. per. 6
Lovely pictures and thoughtful text. I'll come back and visit again.
I like the "brilliance" of the colors of the leaves and the "inspiring" decorations outside of peoples houses. The only thing bad hard about going into fall is the "transition" of going from Summer to Fall.
Daniel F. period 6
The thing I like most about fall is Halloween. I like Halloween a lot because you get lots of candy, which I like. You get to dress up as what ever you want. You get to walk around town and see the costumes and the CHAOS. I also like to decorate for Halloween. Every year, my family puts a lot of stuff in our front yard. I like helping decide what we are going to do each year, and I like the EXCITEMENT of going on the roof to put the hanging ghouls up. I like to see people's AMAZEMENT at our display. The thing I like least about fall is that I get a lot of allergies. The wet leaves and falling leaves make my have headaches and a stuffy nose. When the fields are cut, my nose runs, and eyes itch. All of these allergies make my asthma act up. I need to use my inhaler to get some RELIEF.

Fall is my favorite season, it is because of all the pretty colors. What I don't like about fall is that winter comes next. Fall also can get very cold from the hot summer. I also like the sound of fall, all of the birds and the wind.

I love the fall! It is my favorite season of the year because I love the weather and how the air is so fresh. I also love it because you get to see all the beautiful leaves falling down to the ground. I also love the fall because Halloween is coming up and that is my favorite holiday! I don't like fall because that means you have to get ready for the snow.:(
Emily Santoro 6th period
My favorite thing about fall is probably the transition of the leaves from green to all the wonderful fall colors. I also like the fact that winter will be arriving soon, where the brilliance of the fall colors are traded with the white snow of winter. My least favorite thing about fall is that sometimes it rains a lot and is muddy. I also dislike the fact that I can't visit my old friends where they live and that the only way to countinue our friendship is by phone, mail, or e-mail. Other than all that I really like fall.
Christianna F. Period 6
For me, fall is exciting because it means soon ice hokey season will be happening soon. I also think that the fall leaves are beautiful. I hope everyone enjoys fall as much as I do.

Fall has always been my favorite season because the leaves change color and show you summer is close to being over. I like fall because the clothes are so cute and they are light but syilish! What I dont like about fall is that we cant wear tanktops and shorts! I also dont like that my family comes to visit me and then they leave because summer ended and fall is on it's way! I love fall but I dont like winter approaching faster than ever!
Sierra Kitson P.8
The best thing about fall would either have to be the smell of the air or the temperature. I love how the temperature stays not to cold and not too warm, just right! I also like fall because my birthday is in fall and so is Halloween. The thing I would have to like least about fall is the bugs. I strongly dislike bugs. But near the end of fall when it starts getting cold thats when the bugs die or go away or something. Fall would have to be one of my favorite seasons.
Amanda L. period 6
Fall is my favorite season.
Fall is when I can walk my dogs for more than a mile and they don't collapse from the heat. What I like the best about the Fall is I running through the woods with my dogs. This feels very PEACEFUL
and like and like my dogs and I are the only ones there for miles. What I like least about Fall is returning to school drama and feeling winter creeping up on us. You can feel this especially on the walk to school in the CRISPNESS of the air. The beautiful colors of the deciduous leaves in our area have a great BEAUTY that is also greatly enjoyable.
Lindsay Brown period 6
I like alot of things about fall I mostly like tennis and baseball. I also like cross country because it is great for fitness. The leaves are really crisp and colorful and it makes me happy. Holloween also is very exiting. I really enjoy trick or treating with my friends.
Alex McGarey, period 8
I enjoy fall alot because it is the perfect weather to go outside and hangout with your friends. Fall is great because of my birthday is on the first day of fall. right when the leaves start to tur color it lets me know that winter is coming and that means skiing. skiing is one of my faviorte sports because you go fast. My most faviorte part of fall is halloween because it is a great time to hang out and goof around with your friends. Let's hope that it snows soon.
That picture reminds my about my house because there are a lot of falling leves at my house. I like how all the leves are diffrent colors. Whie I guess it's time for me to start raking.
Will Harloff period 8
i love fall mostly because of halloween i love getting to wear things you could only think of in your imagination, also because I love the colors of the leaves. One negative thing is that I dont like the cold. fall is one of my favorite seasons.paige cring p.6
My favorite season is Summer so fall seems kind of sad to me. But fall is always beautiful and its a great time to draw pictures of the trees and use your imagination. What i like most about fall is that i get to see all of my friends in school that i didn't get to see over the summer. My least favorite part is the part that we have to leave all of my summer friends and start back up into the swing of getting up early every morning and then studying for all of the many tests.Overall fall can be something to look forward to and something to be sad about.
Lila O. Period 6
Fall is my 2nd favorite season because i leafs turn an awesome color and thanksgiving is in fall. i also like fall becuase i get to rake leafs and dive into them. Afert fall is my favorite season winter
I love fall. I was born in November so the fall brings me alot of happiness. I also love the color of the leaves changing and the crisp cold air. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I like the warmth of our woodstove during fall. I do not like fall because it is still early in the school year and it means there are many school days before summer vacation. I also don't like fall because the coldness of winter is coming.
*** My computer would not let me underline the abstract nouns. They are coldness, happiness, and warmth

Their is a lot to talk about but I am going to talk about what I like about fall and what I don’t like. Well there is a lot to like about fall but I most importantly like Halloween and hanging out with my best friends. There are not a lot of things I don’t like about fall but if I had to pick one I would say I don’t like the cold. I would rather be in summer instead of the coldness Sydney Kirkby period 1
