Dominant Impression

Tomorrow, I'll post an essay about my garden using the things I learned below.  

Dominant Impression Can Help You Write Better Description
When writing a description, the dominant impression (or implied main idea), created (through use of the senses, metaphor and other rhetorical devices) helps determine the purpose of your writing.  

Framework for Writing:

• Opening: Clearly identify the place you are describing.
• Include a statement that hints at a dominant impression.
• Body: Use a variety of details (sensory, factual, and figurative)
• Include thoughts and feelings.
• Use either spatial order or order of importance.
• Conclusion: End with a statement that wraps up your description.
