Creative Writing - The Circus

Describe a carnival, theme park, a circus or a fairground attraction My visit to the circus was as divine as the beauty of heaven! The stage was full of big, fat, colourful clowns, with curly orange wigs. I laughed at them, as they joked around, making me feel excited! Some smaller children were torn between screaming and being in hysterics. The next act was waiting, an elephant balancing on a big ball. I could feel the hard bench beneath me, as I smelt the manure of exotic animals. The mustard of the hot dogs I’d been munching on, lingering in my mouth. Rolling into the centre stage, on its ball, the elephant was bigger than the roof. Emmanuel, the elephant gave an electric performance. It gave a trumpeting roar, I thought, doesn’t this remind you of a jungle? The acrobats attracted my attention, swinging awesomely from the trapeze. They leapt around the big top like a monkey from a branch. ‘Look out! Look out!’ I cried, worried that the acrobats would fall into the audience. What techniques can you spot here?
