  1. Description & narration Details, dominant impression & narration

  2. Description • Description reports the testimony of your senses. • The reader imagines not only what they see, but hear, taste, smell and touch the subject you describe. • Description is usually found in narration and is necessary to make the people in the story and the setting unmistakably clear.

  3. Dominant impression • A description should convey a dominant impression. • The dominant impression is like the thesis of your description-the main idea about your subject that you want readers to take away with them. • Ask, what main impression of my subject am I trying to convey?

  4. Considering the Details & concrete language • What is the dominant impression of your subject? • Have you used words appealing to the five senses? • Have you used figures of speech or images? • an effective description conveys your sensory experience as exactly as possible. • the details are arranged so that the reader is firmly left with the feeling the writer intends to convey.
