Descriptive Text

The descriptive text is called when someone is explaining how, a feeling, an animal or an object is. Through this type of text painted with words, we define the characteristics of what we describe. 

There are two types of descriptions according intervene or not the personal view of who writes the text: Scientific (when we report accurate physical characteristics described and therefore is objective, describing as it is that of which is He speaks in the text. This type of description found in encyclopedias and it does not involve the looks describing) and literary (as described is done in a very personal way, involved the feelings and thoughts of making the description is, therefore, subjective). The descriptive text is the actual verbal representation of an object, person, landscape, animal, emotion,and virtually everything can be put into words. This format aims to give the reader an accurate picture of reality that are broadcastingin words, a "word-painting". 

An essential feature, which applies to both types of descriptions isthat this is Timeless texts. This means that what we describe, the time to do it, not moving at the time but we stop a moment to talk about it as a whole static.

The process description is divided into three stages. 
The final phase is to present what was defined in the first two.
First, then, it is to look at thereality, carefully analyzing all the details that we can recognizeand then.
In the second stage, we can arrange that information. We do this so that text can be read clearly, organizing the text in a logical way (the most important to the least important or vice versa, from the general to the particular or vice versa shape the content or vice versa).


Example for a Descriptive Text on "Gloria" by Benito Pérez Galdós
The soft green hills are rising from the sea to the mountains , climbing over each other , as if to bet on who gets up first . To the fullest extent of the landscape pilgrim rustic cottages scattered on the ground form are ; more at one point the scattered buildings are convened, meet , harbor against each other , forming the most noble urban complex that centuries called Ficdbriga .

Ariseth in the center tower , unfinished , like a head without a Ariseth in the center tower , unfinished , like a head without a hat ; but has in its belfry two watchful eyes , and there in three languages, call metal morning Mass and pray the evening prayer .

Idea of the description : The landscape of a city
