Writing Descriptive Essays

Descriptive essays do not focus on an argument. Instead, they describe historical/biographical events, or explain processes. The purpose of a descriptive essay is to describe a person, place, or thing in such vivid detail that the reader can form a picture of what you wrote about. Use imaginative language, interesting comparisons, and images that appeal to the senses.

There are characteristics of a descriptive essay you should remember:

  • it has one, clear dominant impression. If, for example you are describing a waterfall, let your reader know if it is lovely or threatening. To have one dominant impression it cannot be both.
  • your essay can be objective or subjective. For instance, an objective description of a cat would mention height, weight, coloring, etc. A subjective description would include the above details, but would also stress the author's feeling toward the cat, as well as its personality and habits.
  • the purpose of a descriptive essay is to involve the reader enough to help him to visualize the things you describe.

Illustration (Analysis by Example)

This mode answers the question "How does this subject show the thesis?" For example, "How is the exchange of wedding rings an important ritual?" While analyzing the subject, you may either discuss several examples or reasons, or expand on a single example.
