IMPORTANT NOTE: You are not supposed to simply describe these events or places. You need to use descriptive language. Descriptive language is about the words you choose. For example: If I were to write about my cat I could say, "Marley is an orange and white cat that does not have a tail. He likes to sit in my lap and purr." This is not descriptive language. Even though I have described my cat, I have not used descriptive language. For this assignment I may say, "Marley's soft pelt is white on his hefty tummy and a smidgeon of orange on his reedy backbone. As is emblematic for felines, Marley adores to coil in my lap and purr while being stroked gently between his ears."
