5. Banned words in revision: amazing, perfect, beautiful
More effective description can come from:
Using any of the types of imagery we learned – kinetic, gustatory, etc. Use the senses!
Use of figurative language. A metaphor?
Effective Syntax. Where can a periodic sentence or a parallel sentence make an impact? “it was the only battle I ever witnessed, the only battlefield I ever trod…”
Strong verbs/adverbs: “fiercely contending”
More effective exposition (comparing nature to man/society) can come from:
Selection of detail (notice how Thoreau named specific regiments of soldiers, etc)
Use of allusion (Thoreau alludes to Greek warriors like Achilles)
Again, syntax changes and metaphor inclusion…
