Exposition, as well as argument, can be made more vivid, and hence more understandable, with the support
of description. Most exposition does contain some elements of description. 44 It therefore becomes a basic
pattern for the expository purpose.
Description is most useful in painting a word-picture of something concrete, such as a scene or a
person. 45 We can also describe an abstract concept, such as an emotion or a quality or a mood. But
most attempts to describe fear, for instance, still resort to the physical—a “coldness around the heart,”
perhaps—and in such concrete ways communicate the abstract to the reader.
The first and most important job in any descriptive endeavor is to select the details to be included. 46 Thus
writers must constantly keep in mind the kind of picture they want to paint with words. Such a word-picture
need not be entirely visual. 47 Writers can use strokes that will add the dimensions of sound, smell, and
even touch. Such “strokes,” if made to seem natural enough, can help create a vivid and effective image in the reader’s mind.
