Detail

Detail is what makes writing come alive. Detail includes facts, observations, reasons, examples, and incidents that a writer uses to develop a subject.

Detail Specific details create a clear mental picture for the reader by focusing on particulars rather than abstractions.

Detail In other words, instead of saying, “I had a great time at the party,” good writers will fill their papers with specifics of what made the party fun. A “great time” means different things to different people.

Detail Detail also helps a writer make a point, by using specifics about a topic. For instance, if you are writing a paper about pets, you may decide to focus on pet ownership. Therefore, your details should focus on pet ownership specifically.

Detail The use of rich detail is the hallmark of accomplished, rich writing. In the coming months, you will be completing assignments that will aid you in improving your recognition and use of detail.

Detail. It’s a “great time.”
