Description is any type of communication that aims to make vivid a place, object, person, group, or other physical entity.[1] It is one of four rhetorical modes (also known as modes of discourse), along with exposition, argumentation, and narration.[2]
Fiction writing
Fiction writing specifically has modes such as action, exposition, description, dialogue, summary, and transition.[3] Author Peter Selgin refers to methods, including action, dialogue, thoughts, summary, scenes, and description.[4]
Description is the mode for transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story. Together with dialogue, narration, exposition, and summarization, it is one of the most widely recognized of the fiction-writing modes. As stated in Writing from A to Z, edited by Kirk Polking, it is more than the amassing of details; it is bringing something to life by carefully choosing and arranging words and phrases to produce the desired effect.[5]
