The script of writing, the primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person place where things in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. For example, it does not tell the reader that the flower is beautiful, but instead gives descriptive words that show that the flower is beautiful. The reader feels that here she is part of the experience or the subject. Descriptive writing is used in many different types of writing to create vivid and lasting impression on the person of the person place or a thing. So, some characteristics of good descriptive writing. Good descriptive writing includes many vivid sensory details that paint a picture and appeals to all the reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste when appropriate. Descriptive writing may also paint a picture of the feelings the person place or thing in the folks in the writer. So, an example I picked out from Robert Cormiere's The Chocolate War. Nazia began to spread through the stomach, warm and oozy and evil. That really invokes a feeling and impression in the reader or something they've probably felt before and they know what that person was feeling at that particular moment. Good descriptive writing often makes you so figurative language such as analogy, similar as metaphors to help paint the picture in the reader's mind. Besides the guard tower, there's water all around, black and shining like tar. Good descriptive writing uses precise language, general adjectives, nouns, and passive verbs. To that have a place in good descriptive writing. Use specific adjectives and nouns and strong action verbs to give a life to the picture you are painting in the reader's mind. Chose a selection from Tracy Mack Birdland, a drunk guy staggers into my field, red-eyed and swearing. Staggers is a very descriptive verb. You could have said blocked but that wouldn't have really put trade when it was happening. There are several different kinds of blocks. There's a santa, there's a skip, there's a bounce, there's a staggers. It's a very descriptive verb. The finally good descriptive writing is organized. Some ways to organize descriptive writing include chronological, spatial, and the or in order of importance. When describing a person you might begin with a physical description followed by how that person thinks, feels, and acts. From Gary D. Schmitz. From Gary D. Schmitz, Luzzie Bright and the Buckminster boy, she opened the door, and stared beyond the picket gate at Willis Hurd and his friends, who all broke into sudden and a glorious laughter, all except Willis, who was smiling as chicken killing smile. Very descriptive gives us a very descriptive, gives us an idea of what Willis Hurd might be like because of his chicken killing smile. And a glorious laughter rather than just saying they all laughed, she said, and all of a sudden broke into a glorious laughter. And then it's gives us a little description. She opened the door and stared beyond the picket gate. So there are several good descriptive words in that particular text. So until next time.
