Week Two- Herald
Hello all,
It’s Saturday again so it’s time for another Weekly Webster Word- which is ‘herald’. Technically herald was yesterday’s word, but today’s word is really bizarre (it’s jurisprudence, if you’d like to know), so I’m choosing not to do it. Here is the definition of herald on the Merriam-Webster site:
Herald is a verb meaning “to give notice of"; it is synonymous with announce, publicize, and foreshadow. Herald may also mean “to greet especially with enthusiasm."
// The appearance of robins heralded the advent of spring.
// She is being heralded as the year's best new author.
This week is the same as last week: use the word herald in a sentence or paragraph. Here is my example:
Private Smith grimaced, tossing the crumpled newspaper aside. As much as he wanted to believe the heralding of peace talks and rumours of negotiations, he knew that it’d be a long time before the war was over. “They only ever write propaganda these days,” he scoffed.
Have fun and stay inspired!
The sound of whinnying horses and thundering drums heralded the dawn. I looked out the window to find the Abendrotian Army’s ranks silhouetted against the rising sun painting the sky in flames. I reached for my sword, feeling its cool silver handle send a shiver of strength up my arm. I squared my shoulders. War had finally come to us. But we were ready to meet it.
