Many people might think that a descriptive text is just a written sequence of facts and observations about someone or something. A more critic reading, however, can help the reader to find lots of hidden information about the subject and even about how the author deals with situations and people behavior. Academic students are used to study a smaller way of writing descriptions that is the Descriptive Paragraph, where the content has to be more condensed in order to gather and present relevant information in just a few lines of text. A simple Descriptive Paragraph should have the structure of other paragraphs: One topic sentence, three or four supporting sentences and at the end, the concluding sentence, where the author resumes the whole paragraph. Here follows an example of a descriptive paragraph.
Men and Women can change the way they live if the raising patterns are not the same. Occident people, when raising female children, are unconsciously concerned on them future marriage, teaching the girls how to be good housekeepers, that grow playing with dolls, a baby-toy that teaches how to raise a real baby. On the other side, male children are raised to show strength and security, providing women a good domestic life. At school, kids get to know about different people and habits, starting to see how different – or similar – they were raised. When things go different, as a doll-repulsive woman or a weak and insecure man, there is behavior change: boys and girls abandon old concepts to adapt their minds to the new structures and concepts about family and marriage, creating new behaviors to new situations.
The structure of the descriptive paragraph reminds in a few ways the narrative paragraph. The narrative one describes a sequence of events or tells a story, all of this in a time order. And this latter aspect is not important on the descriptive paragraph, which matters the most, especially if it is about the physical appearance, is the space.
ReplyDeleteThe structure of a descriptive paragraph is just like a description. Predominance of linking verbs, adjectives that characterize the employment of what is being described, the occurrence of prayers juxtaposed or coordinated.
The distribution of fatness in men and women are very different. On the ladies it is located mostly on the area between the waist and knees, circulating from the hips to the legs and then to buttocks. While on the gentlemen it concentrates specially on the abdominal area, which is the part of the body going from the waist to the begging of the ribs. The fatness in women grants them a pear shape which is also known as the feminine curves. While on men it gives them the shape of an apple, but if properly worked and exercised the men’s body will have an inverse triangle aspect, being larger by the shoulders and torso and narrower at waist and legs.

The central idea of the paragraph is a descriptive framework, or a fragment of what is being described (a person, a landscape, an environment, etc..), since under certain perspective at a given moment. Changed this picture, we will have new paragraph.
ReplyDeleteThe descriptive paragraph will present the same characteristics as the description: predominance of linking verbs, adjectives that characterize the employment of what is being described, the occurrence of prayers juxtaposed or coordinated.
Difference between men and women can be regarded as more social than biological. Society creates more differences than the nature does. We can see those differences day by day. They can be many but certainly the best known are the famous quotations "only women can be faithful", "women makes love while men makes sex" and "only guys can drive". Those are social created differences, because in a biological way they make no sense.
