The sunset filled the entire sky with the deep color of rubies, setting the clouds ablaze.
The waves crashed and danced along the shore, moving up and down in a graceful and
gentle rhythm like they were dancing.
The painting was a field of flowers, with deep and rich blues and yellows atop vibrant
green stems that seemed to beckon you to reach right in and pick them.
The old man was stooped and bent, his back making the shape of a C and his head bent so
far forward that his beard would nearly have touched his knobby knees had he been just a
bit taller.
His deep and soulful blue eyes were like the color of the ocean on the clearest day you
can ever imagine.
The soft fur of the dog felt like silk against my skin and her black coloring glistened as it
absorbed the sunlight, reflecting it back as a perfect, deep, dark mirror.
Writing a Descriptive Paragraph
1. 1
Make sure to choose a meaningful person, place, or thing. Before you begin your
paragraph, you have to be sure to pick something that is worth describing. If you want to
describe a character, make sure the person is interesting in some way. If you want to
describe an object, make sure it has some deeper meaning beyond itself so you have
enough to write about. If you pick a place, make sure you can describe it in a unique way
that can capture a reader's attention.
o For example, in the opening pages of The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield
describes a baseball mitt. The mitt itself is not that remarkable, but he describes it
in a way that fills it with meaning because it used to belong to his deceased
brother. Though not every object you describe needs an elaborate backstory, if it
has some meaning behind it, this can help the description carry weight.
o If you want to pick a place, don't just pick any old spot at a beach, but one that is
meaningful to you -- or, if you're writing fiction, to one of your characters -- in
some way. This can add a layer of depth to the place in question.
