Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn how to
1 Examine description, narration, and example in professional
writing.
2 Write effective descriptive essays.
3 Write effective narrative essays.
4 Write effective essays supported by examples.
The essays you write and the stories you tell
come alive when you use description, narration,
and example. Descriptive techniques help you
show your reader what you see, hear, smell,
touch, or taste. Narrative techniques help you
concisely tell the reader a story that makes a
point. Examples supply specific illustrations and
instances in many types of writing. Description,
narration, and example provide the foundations
for many other types of essay writing.
