Patterns – Chapter 7 Description

The five senses Sight Hearing Taste Touch Smell

Objective Description Focus on the object itself rather than on your personal reactions to it. Simply describe using precise and literal terms Think of newspaper articles that describe an event Sometimes this type of description includes pictures, diagrams, or drawings

Subjective Description The author’s choice of words to describe reveal the author’s opinion.

Language that appeals to senses Connotations – emotional associations Denotations – direct meanings Figures of speech – simile, metaphor, personification, allusion

Objective or Subjective? Recognize the difference by reading the sample student essays (pages 161 and 165)

Read and be prepared to discuss: No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch (page 176) Ground Zero (page 182) The Storm (page 202)

Time to write your own! Write a one page subjective descriptive essay on the weather or a place.
