~In your own essay, describe ONE place that you can see from one vantage point (one stationary place) which is place to think, to be alone, to learn
something new, or that is important to you. In your essay describe this place using vivid details which engage the reader (using the five senses), and then tell
us the significance of this place for you (it could be that it is the one place you feel you can be yourself, or where you learned to try something new, etc.).
Finally, you need to use at least one simile or metaphor within your paper.
~Details on Writing Descriiption Essays:
In order to write an effective essay describing a significant place, you need to first learn some helpful techniques.
First, descriiption means to convey your impression of something, and includes using all five senses: touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight. The purpose of
learning to write a descriiptive paper is that in many jobs you will need to use descriiptions. For example, when you chart in nursing, you need to describe the
patient’s condition, and you need to be accurate. If you say the patient has right knee problems, when it is actually the left knee, it makes a huge difference.
Dominant Impression
The good place to start writing a descriiptive essay, is to create a dominant impression. A dominant impression is a mood that prevails throughout the whole
essay. For example, if you are writing about a swing you built and hung up in the middle of the forest where you go to think, you may want to create a
dominant impression of serenity. You want to maintain that sense of peacefulness through the whole piece; in other words, you wouldn’t have a cacophony
of birds cawing, but rather birds lilting. Each word you use should convey your dominant impression.
Your conclusion
In the conclusion of your essay, you should focus on the significance of this place. Why did you decide to write about it? What importance does it have for
you? It is not enough to just describe it, it must have meaning for you and for your readers.
