straw

1 “I brought some straw for us to sleep on,” announced Jonas.

2 He carried it as if it were made of straw.

3 I want to be here, on Tuesday, in May, sitting in the red- topped booth at Sunnysides, watching Cordelia as she delicately slurps the last of her milkshake up through the straws.

4 She dreamt of a young, handsome man dressed all in white, with patent- leather shoes and a straw hat, walking across the desert bathed in sunlight.

5 Chris looked ridiculous as he tried to get the last bit of chocolate shake up through the straw.

6 He wrote to her about the American custom of stomping on straw hats come fall.

7 On the way to Casse we make a house call, stopping at a hut to greet an elderly-looking couple sitting together on a straw mat.

8 Otto struggled down from my arms and crawled to the pile of old straw on the far side.

9 More straw was cleverly twisted and woven to form the sides.

10 Booth hears the crackle of burning straw and smells the sweet smoke of burning cedar.

11 The straw boss had no faith in her, having watched her sweating hard to fill her sack as quickly as the children, but she was highly and suddenly vocal in her determination.

12 Its straw hat was hanging from an ear.

13 The honeysuckle in the upper left-hand corner, for example, echoes the contour of the adolescent’s back, while the two straws are virtually parallel to each other.

14 the cheese maker told us that the best Parmesan cheeses are straw, not white, in color

15 The cows stayed in the barn all the time now, except on sunny mornings when they went out and stood in the barnyard in the lee of the straw pile.

16 There’s another map made entirely from seeds, and one made from cut straws of different sizes and colors, too.

17 My legs were like straw, but I walked.

18 Tree-ear laid armfuls of straw on the hillside, and there Min sat, the hollows under his eyes dark with exhaustion.

19 The cattail pond now had steel gray and rust brown pipes running up from it toward the groves, like someone had connected straws together in four crooked lines.

20 In the dark, the straw walls and roofs combust into yellow and orange flames, illuminating the red faces of girls running away.
