ABSTRACTION
• Description – it gives life to the ideas of an author through
well-meaning words.

• A descriptive pattern basically provides details on the idea

by using either a sensory or spatial pattern. Through a
sensory pattern, ideas are arranged based on one or all of
the five senses.
• 
• Two Types of Description
• Two types of description: (1) informative or
objective and (2) artistic or subjective.
1. Informative or objective description – this type
of description gives information of facts as it pictures
out a person, place or thing in accurately chosen
words. It may be a long prose or brief statement. It is
intellectual in form and content.
2. Artistic or Subjective Description – gives
pleasure to the reader while stimulating his
imagination. It presents the creativity of the
author as he expresses his moods, passions,
opinions and feelings through vivid words.
