DESCRIPTIVE ORGANIZATION

A. Defenition
A descriptive describes a certain object, situation, experienced emotion or a
place he has been to or even an imaginary place. In simple words, an incident or event
you have encountered personally or have seen it happening.
The objective of descriptive writing is to provide the reader enough
information about something as much as you can.
Good descriptive is comprised of five elements; Sensory Details, Figurative
Language, dominant impression, precise language, and Careful Organization.
1. Sensory Details
An important thing for a descriptive is the usage of sensory details. Instead of
using ambiguous, general words, the sensory language should be precise.
2. Figurative Language
Good descriptive writing often makes use of figurative language to help paint
the picture in the readersmind. There are many ways to use figurative language,
and it is a talent that should be practiced until perfected.
-A simile uses like or as to compare two unlike things.
Example: Her smile was like sunshine.
-A metaphor compares two unlike things without using like or as:
Example: Her smile was a light that lit up the room.
Personification suggests comparison between a nonliving thing and a person
by giving the nonliving thing human traits.
3. Dominant Impression
When you plan a descriptive, your focus on selecting details that help your
readers see what you see, feel what you feel, and experience what you experience.
Your goal is to create a single dominant impression, a central theme or idea to
which all the details. This dominant impression unifies the description and gives
readers an overall sense of what the person, place, object, or scene looks like(and
perhaps what it sounds, smells, tastes, or feels like). Sometimes but not always
your details will support a thesis making a point about the subject you are
describing.
4. Precise Language
Good descriptive writing uses precise language. Using specific words and
phrases will help the reader “see” what you are describing. If a word or phrase is
specific. General adjectives, nouns, and passive verbs do not have a place in good
descriptive writing. Use specific adjectives and nouns and strong action verbs
to give life to the picture you are painting in the reader's mind.
5. Careful Organization
Good descriptive writing is organized. Some ways to organize descriptive
writing include: chronological (time), spatial (location), and order of importance.
When describing a person, you might begin with a physical description, followed
by how that person thinks, feels and acts.
B. Descriptive Structure
1. Introduction: Introduce the topic you're describing, and give a quick over view of
what it is. This is where you'll outline your description of the topic. You'll go into
more detail in the main body.
2. Main body: This can be taken by three separate paragraphs. The first paragraph
can focus on a detailed description of the topic itself. The second will cover the
environment surrounding the topic. Finally, the third topic will focus on a sensual
and emotive description, which covers how the topic affects those interacting with
it.
3. Conclusion: This will draw all your points together, without introducing anything
new.
