Bombastic - The small bird made a bombastic sound that woke me in the morning.
ReplyDeleteLithe - The thief moved in a lithe way as he glided through the alleys on the city.
One of the major differences between weekends and weekdays is that I have school weekdays and no school weekends. Weekends I have more time to do whatever I want. During weekdays I work on schoolwork and spend time doing after school activities. They are similar in the fact that they are both days in the week and last 24 hours.
The weekend is great, because everyone's bombastic voices fill every room. On the weekdays, everyone has very somber voices. Fridays are the days that people move lithely throughout the hallways. Mondays are filled with people moving slowly through the hall. The weekdays are filled with talk about the weekend, while the weekend talks end with talks about the upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteThe weekends are a time to relax and have fun while the weekdays are a time to get work done and be productive. The weekends lithe in and the weekdays come crashing in. After one whole week of work, there is usually a bombastic celebration on friday that sometimes carries into saturday. The weekends are generally better and are much more enjoyable than the weekdays.
ReplyDeleteThe most drastic change between my weekday and weekend personality is my attitude. On the weekdays I am usually lethargic and unmotivated when it comes to doing certain activities. During the weekend, I am energetic and feel ready to face any challenge. Weekdays, I usually use more of a sarcastic, bombastic tone and make other people around me agitated as well, but during the weekend I usually have a peaceful tone and lithe throughout the house. Many people would be surprised by how different I am when I am well rested compared to when I do not have that extra hour of sleep that I need, but either way I still try to make each day count.
ReplyDeleteDuring the weekends i move lithely around the house. I'm not in any rush to get anything accomplished. I'm also extremely laid back. During the weekdays I throw lots of tantrums and scream bombastically for no reason. The stress and frustration gets to me.
ReplyDeleteThe week is formatted in quite an interesting dynamic. With five weekdays and two days on the weekend, a lithe balance is struck that enables everyone to complete work in jobs and at their house, and also rest on the seventh. Even the bombastic salesmen rest on the weekends and are able to be back at it on Monday with their tiresome and infuriating tirades.
ReplyDeleteThe weekends are faster and lither than a master ballerina. They move far too quickly leading into the rest of the week. Weekdays are full of bombastic teachers and horrible lessons. Headaches consume the student’s minds and cause them to dislike school. Weekends will always be looked forward to in the hopes of gaining some much needed rest.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend is my favorite part of the week. Despite my moms bombastic rants about how I need to do the dishes or do the laundry I still find time to enjoy my weekends. But once Monday morning comes around i get myself ready to lithe through another week of school, dreaming about the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend and weekdays are not much different because I dread going to school and work. The only difference is that in school all that is heard are bombastic students as I walk from class to class. During the weekend, I have to lithely move around work so that I don't get in any one's way.
ReplyDeleteBombastic - Offering BOMBASTIC promises of fame and fortune, the wicked sorceress convinced the innocent peasant to sell his home and embark on a prolonged quest through the unknown wilderness.
ReplyDeleteLithe - Trained to be LITHE and move smoothly and gracefully, the young dancer won many awards for her prowess as an outstanding athlete and pioneer of expression.
Activity:
On the weekends, the simplicity and relaxation that ensues after a long and tiring week is extremely rewarding. During weekdays, BOMBASTIC hopes of easier days ahead drive hardworking individuals to strive for excellence and put their best foot forward. The weekends are the home to sports, going places with friends, and strengthening our faith. Weekdays are about providing for one's family and being an ambassador to the world. Unfortunately, weekends LITHE on by, slipping away so quickly that it is hard to detect the fact that they even existed. Weekdays seem to drag on forever, unforgiving to even those who hope that Friday arrives sooner. Ultimately, weekends allow us time to take a break, reflect upon our lives, forget the past, and remind us of the joy of living. In contrast, weekdays give us an opportunity to forge our future, providing the chance to find a sense of purpose and become the people that we want to be.

ReplyDeleteThe weekends are unlike the weekdays. Staring the week on Monday, it is bombastic because Mondays are often loads of work but they mean little since everyone is exhausted on the first day. Sunday unlike Monday is lithe because when all the homework are taken care of, everything flows more easily and gracefully. Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are horrific weekdays because that is when working actually starts or else you will fall behind. Saturday is unlike Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday because Saturday is when you sleep in and not even work at all.
ReplyDeleteWeekends are time for leisure and relaxing, they are the goal of every week. But quick and lithe the weekends fade just as quick as they came leaving everyone with those Monday morning blues. The week is un-ending. The week is bombastic, constantly expanding to a point where the whole world feels like giving up by Friday.
ReplyDeleteThe group of girls in Chemistry class are bombastic airheads that continuously distract their peers.
ReplyDeleteThe lion cubs have not yet learned to lithe in the way that their mother does while hunting.
Between the weekend and weekdays lies a startling contrast that demands attention. During the week my peers and I are subjected to the bombastic tongues of certain teachers who wholeheartedly believe they are superior to the students. Not to mention the injurious treatment students must face day in and day out. On the contrary, the weekend greets students with relaxed enthusiasm, causing students to lithe through their days work. Weekends inspire people to further their health by sleeping in and taking the necessary time to enjoy breakfast. As opposed to the week days at school, where students are pressured to "be on time no matter what".
The weekends usher forth a mystic land of fun and revelry. One lithes through the weekend as they sing and dance, but then the bombastic alarm of Monday comes to bring the drone of the weekdays. It makes me cry.
ReplyDeleteThe mouse lithely lumbered across the floor not making a single bombastic sound.
ReplyDeleteWeekends are so much better than the weekdays because you can be lazy and do nothing. Weekdays are chaotic and require most of my energy while on the weekends I can lithely lumber around my house. Weekdays make me go to school and listen to everyone annoying bombastic noises that drive me insane. While on the weekends I can lay around at home with not a single sound.
People often say that the weekend will the most bombastic time of the week, however, it is often overplayed. Weekends are often times to get crazy, but more often than not, they are not much different from the weekdays. Weekdays lithe through the year, never slowing or speeding up. People stay in on the weekdays, watch television, and get comfy on the couch. While many think they will party on the weekends, plenty just end up doing the same things. The weekends and weekdays are not all that different, with the same activities often occurring.
ReplyDeleteThe weekdays are much more hectic than the weekends, with everyone's bombastic voices booming in the hallways and classrooms. The weekends are a very lithe experience. There is plenty of time to relax and much more time for leisure.
ReplyDeleteThe week is seven days long, 5 days of work, 2 days of supposed relaxation. The weekend is bombastic, full of hope but in the end it is just a variant of the 5 day work week. Jobs are still needing to be done. The weekdays however, may be planned out and have negative association, but they lithe much smoother than the spastic weekend. The weekend is rushed with tasks to be finished in 2 days. The week is split into 2 groups, but in the end the days are all the same.
ReplyDeleteEvery week Thursdays are bombastic, looking as the day is so close to the weekend but students still have to get through a whole day of school before reaching the weekend. Once finally getting to the weekend, the days are lithe. Although both weekends and weekdays are times to get work done while also spending time with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteWeekends are less predictable than weekdays, but allow much more leisure time. The late nights and mornings give the illusion that there are no deadlines, and permit room for lithe enjoyment. However, when Sunday evening arrives, a sense of clarity is revealed to students, and they scurry to complete their assignments, filling nonsense essays with bombastic vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteA primary difference between weekdays and weekends is that the weekend is much shorter than the work week. Although all days of the week are "weekdays," the word weekday typically characterizes the typical work week, Monday through Friday. The weekend, short and sweet, slips away so quickly as Monday miserably lithes in. Monday through Friday, students slave away at school, sitting through bombastic classes and exhausting their brains. The weekend sounds so lovely, and is filled with opportunities for rest and fun.
ReplyDeleteMy weekends and weekdays do not have many differences. I wake up at the same time for work on Saturday and Sunday as I do for school. I wish for the weekend all week as I sit in my tedious classes, which is a very bombastic hope considering I won't be any happier while I'm at work. I lithe through the hallways at school carrying my backpack the same way I steadily balance trays of food while I walk into the restaurant. Although I don't exactly have any days off, I still appreciate the weekend and my minimal amount of leisure time.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend is something most people look forward too. All throughout the week, we count down the days till Saturday and Sunday. Thursday and Friday are bombastic days of the week, giving the excitement of the weekend but also letting us down being a weekday with school. Sadly once we have entered the weekend, it is so lithe that it just flies on by and were right back to square one...Monday. Weekdays are slow paced with the consistence of a daily routine. Weekends are laid back and mostly consist of fun or relaxing activity. Weeks days consist of five total days, usually with school days as an 8 hour schedule for the day. Weeks consist of two days, Saturday being chill and comforting and Sunday may be a church or family day still with relaxation involved.
ReplyDeleteWeekdays seldom progress lithely. Students’ weeks are filled with soporific lessons of algebra or chemistry, and any attempts to elucidate the subjects learned are allayed by the persisting sense of lassitude. The acrimony caused by weekdays are diffused slightly by the ephemeral effect of the weekend. Two days of rest, sometimes viewed as bombastic. The weekdays are exhausting, the weekend refreshing.
ReplyDeleteOn the weekends students usually move in a lithe way, as opposed to the weekdays. During the week students tend to walk more sluggishly and have little energy. Weekdays consist of bombastic lesson, whereas weekends are filled with excitement.
ReplyDeleteDuring the weekend everyone's voices are loud and bombastic, compared to the weekdays. The students move with lithe through the hallway quietly awaiting the weekend to come.

ReplyDeleteWeekends have the bombastic title of being the ultimate party days but most people use them to lay around and do nothing after the long weekdays. People lithe through the weekend while slaving away during the work week. The weekend is a time to relax and catch up on sleep rather than do more work just to labor away again in 2-3 days.
