example, in describing a tree, you can begin by describing the roots then the stem, followed by the
branches and lastly the leaves to create a whole picture.

sharing experiences because it brings reality to life. Likewise a good description creates strong emotions and moods like fear and excitement among others. In addition, it creates clear mental pictures of people, places and things.
