place , or a situation is like. It appeals to the readers
senses; it makes the reader see, hear, taste, smell, or
feel the subject.

paint a picture in the mind of the reader. Literary
analyses, descriptive essays, business plans, lab
reports, and research papers are some examples of
writing genres that use descriptive paragraphs.
