Descriptive essay


How to write a descriptive essay?
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, in your case a perfect fantasy world.

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
* Touch
Therefore the major restriction for writing a descriptive essay is to provide very specific and extremely vivid details in the work. The reader has to taste, smell, see, hear and touch everything the author does.
A good descriptive essay has to:

1. Give a vivid perception of the subject of description
2. Include all the smallest important possible details
3. Deliver the emotional background of the described subject
4. Indicate the author’s emotional response caused by the subject
5. Eliminate every single irrelevant detail
6. Gradually reveal different aspects of the subject in each following paragraph

Such an essay also has to be well organized. The introductions plays a rather important part here as it is the part the catches the reader’s attention. The body consists of the amount of paragraphs required to describe each aspect or side of the described subject. The conclusion is where the author restates the main idea of a given descriptive essay. This type of essay is supposed to created excitement in the heart if the reader.
