Reading Response Ch.5 : Description

           After reading chapter 5, which mainly focused on description and using dominant impression.  One of the parts that stuck out to me when I read chapter 5 was the part about avoiding clichés, because as a writer avoiding clichés can be a little hard.  When the chapter talked about organizing details, I found pretty surprising as I had never heard of spatial order and progressive order when it comes to writing.  By ordering your details you can change the focus of your sentence and have it imply something else.  Using description correctly can have someone visualizing your story which is something great to do as a writer.

            As a student I find that dominant impression is one of the most important points in the chapter.  By focusing your description on one characteristic, your description can stand on its own and help the reader visualize what you are writing.  The part I wish was elaborated a bit more was the small part about avoiding clichés,  I feel that this could have been elaborated a bit more as falling into clichés in your writing is easy and learning to avoid them will only help your writing.
