Determine the senses that are the most prominent regarding your subject. Is it your sense of touch, sense of smell, sense of taste, sense of sight, or sense of hearing?

For your descriptive essay you must describe a single object, event, person etc. in sufficient detail that your reader gains a good sense of your subject. You must use concrete, sensory details in your description. Determine the senses that are the most prominent regarding your subject. Is it your sense of touch, sense of smell, sense of taste, sense of sight, or sense of hearing? Having narrowed your choices, choose which are the strongest and most relevant details to use in your essay. For example, if you were describing a fire, the sense of touch may be one of the most important senses to note as you describe the heat of the fire on a person’s body who might be observing the fire from close proximity. Remember that all of the descriptions are to build to a dominant impression. Please underline your thesis and the topic sentences of your paragraphs.
