Suggestions and comments about the blogging activity:
Well I could say that blogging is the easy way to share your thoughts in life and anything you want to share. It is a new way of how you share and give a idea to other. I am hopefully that I have learned this blogging. Thank you Mam Lynnie Ann Deocampo for teaching us this new way.



1.How different is descriptive writing from narrative writing?

Descriptive writing describe something. It uses details from any or all of the five senses to
convey the essence of something to the reader

The reader
sees,
hears,
feels,
smells, and
tastes
what the writer describes

While in

Narrative writing tells a story. You have probably been telling stories
as long as you have been communicating with other people. Without
even thinking about it, you set the story up for your listener,
describing the time, place, and your own involvement. Maybe the
story is about something that happened to you, or maybe it’s about
something that happened to a person you don’t even know.


2.How does the maxim “Show, don’t tell” explain how one writes descriptively.
Illustrate with your own example.

Show, don't tell is an admonition to fiction writers to write in a manner that allows the reader to experience the story through a character's action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the narrator's exposition, summarization, and description. The advice is not to be heavy-handed, or to drown the reader in adjectives, but to allow issues to emerge from the text instead. The advice applies equally to fiction and nonfiction.

3.How do you as a writer make your language descriptive? How do you add depth and
texture to a piece of writing?

Well as a writer I make my language descriptive by adding a Character , Desire , Conflict , Change and Precise so that it will be more interested for those readers.

4. Other than one word modifiers, what other modifiers maybe employed in descriptive
writing?

Well there other modifiers that can be employed in descriptive writing. We have Noun, Adjective , Verb, Adverb , Prepositional and Relative .
