Descriptive Writing

descriptive writing is writing that describe a person, a place, an ideaa, an organization, or an activity. descriptive writing is closely related to narrative writing. The main different between the two is that in narrative writing you tell stories, while in descriptive writing you draw a picture in words for your reader to see. 

One very important similarity between narrative writing and descriptive writing focuses on the use of general and specefic details. In fact, the stucture of many narratives can be represented by the following model:
Specific: - What happened first
                - What happened next
                - What finally happened
 General: - What can be learned from it

Like narrative writing, descriptive writing often combines the general and the specific. However, in the descriptive writing, you begin with a general impression and develop it with specific details. The sentence that conveys this general impression in any paragraph is called the topic sentence. A descriptive paragraph can be represented by the following model:
Topic sentence: general impression of the whole
Development: specific details about the parts presented in relation to each other 

Finally, both narrative and descriptive writing depend very much on modification.
