Example of Ekphrasis

Audrey was lying on her bed reading a magazine.  This was the same magazine that she had read when she was on vacation in Mexico last summer.  The beach that she had read it on was one of the beaches where turtles laid their eggs.  A woman named Ms. Robinson studied these turtles and enjoyed visiting the beach with her daughter, Maryann.  Maryann went to NYU and majored in Women's Studies.  She felt empowered by her classes, so she got her hair cut in the same way as Emma Watson.  Emma Watson had recently modeled for Calvin Klein and had a make-up artist named Charlene.  Charlene had been doing make-up for 13 years.  She had even done make-up for Nicole Kidman, who recently wore a new dress to the Oscars.  Mindy, a girl working as a stage manager for the Oscars, had been fired for reading on the job.  In reality, she had gotten mono from her boyfriend, John, and the only way that she wouldn't feel nauseous was by reading.  John had shared a drink with his friend Barry, who had gotten mono after making out with a girl in a bar.  This girl had been testing out pick-up tips that she read in the same article that Audrey was reading.
