On February 22, 2016 author John Warner published an article on Just Visiting entitled “Kill the 5-Paragraph Essay.” Warner creatively talks about how rudimentary of a structure this type of essay holds. Writers are locked inside a cage of regulations and guidelines making them unable to write the essay as they please, but rather having to piece together regulated sentences and paragraphs because that’s what they have been told would score high on certain test questions. The article targets people of all kinds, but is more directed towards early college aged students. The purpose behind this article is to get them to expand their horizon, disregard all the regulations they have been previously taught and start to write in a much more open-minded sense.

To create a piece of fabric, small textile fibers are crisscrossed, stitched, and sewn together. If unraveled, the individual fibers remain, but as a whole, they function collectively to make a larger and more significant piece. This is known as weaving, and it is argued by some literary researchers that this process of weaving can be figuratively applied to procedures of writing by way of intertextuality―the composition theory that claims all texts refer to other texts. From this assertion, James E. Porter’s “Intertextuality and the Discourse Community,” argues originality is nearly impossible to achieve, as no thought originates without influence from other sources; however, after examining the essays “All Writing is Autobiography” by Donald

Ultimately, whatever you can perceive or experience can be the focus of your descriptive writing.

1. CHARACTER DESCRIPTION & GROWTH: Describe the main character. How does he/ she change or develop internally (on the inside) through the story? Explain what he/ she is like at the beginning of the novel, the middle, and then how he/she finally changed by the end. Give specific text evidence from the story to support your ideas.

Anyway, when we turned onto Broadway Street, we knew that we would be arriving in a matter of minutes and our anticipation rose with every pothole and row of corn stalks we passed. After stopping for the occasional family of deer on the “L” shaped road, we would eventually arrive at the third camper on the left. It might just be a campsite with a silver twinky for a camper to most people, but for me, this place is the heaven that made me, me. With all its amenities, I couldn't think of a way to make this place any better. The campsite consisted of a camper against the woods on the left, a yard with a steep drop off to the river on the right, and the essential outhouse and fireplace. The entrance to the knee deep river was at the next campsite with two Weeping Willow bushes signaling where to enter. When anyone entered, there was initial shock of chill due to the water but it was easy to adapt to. There was a log perpendicular to the shore that kept the water depth about ankle

Without the use of description an essay, poem or story would be considered as uninteresting and boring. The use of expressive language is a descriptive element used in this essay. The language applied allows the reader to see exactly what the writer is saying. The writer deliberately chose words that paint a picture and are vividly expressive. “Description should aim for accuracy and fairness and avoid

I am bad with transitions, describing the thing I am talking about, and using exceptional words without having to fall back to a thesaurus. This lack of proper transitions is visible is almost all of my papers. For instance, in all of my papers that require some form of order I use the generic, first, then/next, and finally. This is can be easily seen in all of the narratives especially “AI Recolors New Mexico State Flag” which due to its nature requires a lot of transitions. Next, we have my descriptions. I am very bad at proper describing imagery. This is once again shown in all of my narratives, but a key example is from “The Flip”. In The Flip very little descriptions are used except when necessary for that it is most of the time just a word like big or

It was early afternoon when two rental limo’s pulled up in front of the BellRose Hotel, a sprawling, castle-like building of local stone. The driver of the first limo got out, and opened the door for his passengers. The first to get out was a svelte 29-year-old woman with long black hair, hazel eyes, and light Asian skin. She wore black slacks, a purple sweater, black boots, and a black leather coat with her hair styled in an artistically intricate braid. She was followed by a plump but healthy 32-year-old brunette with olive skin, and green eyes. How white count was the pool close around her Red shirt that was paired with jeans and sneakers. The last to exit the car was a lithe 29-year-old with dark blonde hair, dark blue-green eyes, and
