OBJECTIVE DESCIPTION It uses neutral words, since they do not evoke emotions, this type of description generally provides information without adding feelings. Descriptive writing is when an author uses carefully selected words to help create a vivid picture in the reader's mind. Oftentimes, these words involve sensory details, which focus on the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings that are associated with a particular topic. The goal of descriptive writing is for readers to feel like they are actually experiencing what an author is describing.
