Chapter 11 Description and Reflection

Description and Reflection
Chapter 11

Writing a descriptive essay requires a strong accent on the observation and the descriptions provided by the author. The facts in this type of essay can be just the background of the vivid experiences presented by the writer. It is crucial to focus strictly on the subject of description. It can be: A certain experience, a special memory, an interesting place, one person, a thing/object.
The identification of the focus of a descriptive essay should be based on the personally perceived experiences. The author basically describes what he observes and perceives. The main message is the reason the author wants to share this experience with the reader. A descriptive essay is to make the reader believe as if he has seen and experienced something on his own.
A standard descriptive essays outline is concentrated on the senses and based on the delivery of the author’s experience through the following means: taste, smell, sight, sound and touch.
