Descriptive Essay

As the name suggests, the descriptive essay is a vivid description of something. When someone asks you to describe something, the first step you might take is to jot down the first words that come to you. For instance, for the word ‘egg’, you might write down the following string of associations: "round, white, brown, fresh, chicken”.

The point here is that while writing a descriptive essay, youshould start with the description of the obvious, but don't stay there, move towards the description of something extraordinary.

Irrespective of what you are describing in a descriptive essay, you should always remain well-focused and you should strive to make your essay as interesting as possible by emphasizing on what makes that particular person, place or thing you are describing, interesting and unusual.

How you treat your subject in the descriptive essay is directly related to how your reader will react to it. Give plenty of specific descriptive details. If you're describing an event, watch people moving and hear them talking. This will help you to create a dominant impression on your readers.

A descriptive essay should have a clear pattern of organization. Your introduction should work from general to specific, ending in a thesis sentence. You should have several paragraphs that develop and describe your topic and your conclusion should restate your thesis or conclude your event.

To make your descriptive essay interesting use vivid and fresh language or take something ordinary and compare it with something extraordinary to make it interesting.
