The Descriptive Qualities

Our descriptive unit covers four elements of writing: imagery, mood, subjective and objective details, and purpose. Thus far, the painting Miranda gave us the chance to describe a character and the setting that creates a mood. A trip to the library and its subsequent writing allowed us to understand how sight and sound can be augmented by other senses (not taste, of course). Tonight, the challenge of separating subjective and objective details will help you balance personal description and factual presentation.
