How can I write this sentence in an ornate style: the boy walked through the woods

The boy walked through the
woods. 

Ornate style asks that you elevate the diction
(vocabulary) and syntax(structure) of the sentence to a higher level.  Think of a
regular, undecorated wall, and then, compare it to the same wall with paint, pictures
and other decorations.

So, what can we do to elevate this
sentence?  Let's start with the nouns - boy and
woods.

• First, think of some synonyms for boy: 
  adolescent, juvenile, youth, college senior, high school freshman, middle school
  shortstop...the list is endless.


• Second, add some
  description:  the snarling adolescent with the metal adornments on his face.  We added
  snarling and the fact that he had facial
  piercings.


• Repeat this process for the noun
  'woods'


• Third, look at your verb - walked.  Repeat the
  process we began above with this word.

matter what the original sentence, you can always create an ornate style.   If you would
