Understanding Sentence Length and Rhythm
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the quiet town. Children’s laughter echoed from the park, punctuated by the distant bark of a dog. The evening was calm, almost surreal in its peacefulness. Suddenly, a gust of wind stirred the leaves, whispering secrets through the trees. The streets were empty, save for a few late-night wanderers. Shadows stretched long across the pavement, creating patterns that seemed alive. Every sound seemed amplified in the stillness, as if the world was holding its breath. Night fell quickly, bringing a blanket of darkness and a sky full of shimmering stars.
