Sentences.

A sentence starts out like jumping off a diving board into a pool. You dive into the water, going deeper and deeper in the water until finally you are able to start swimming back up to surface. You kick your feet and move your arms as you begin to desire to breathe more and more. The distance to surface seems never ending as you run out of time to hold your breath...finally...you break the surface and gasp for air.

    Do you dive? What's that moment like before you leave the board? Toes clinging to the edge -- knees bending -- arms reaching -- neck reacting to the momentum -- what about the flight?

    Good metaphor! Elaborate more on how this connects to a sentence starting out...why do you have to gasp for air? What does the deep water represent?

    I like this metaphor and how it includes different parts such as the jump, the descent, and the ascent.
