<p><strong>Description</strong>&nbsp;is the pattern of narrative development that aims to make vivid a place, object, character, or group.Description is one of four&nbsp;<a title="Rhetorical modes" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_modes">rhetorical modes</a>&nbsp;(also known as&nbsp;<em>modes of discourse</em>), along with&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Exposition (literary technique)" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposition_(literary_technique)">exposition</a>,&nbsp;<a title="Argumentation theory" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentation_theory">argumentation</a>, and&nbsp;<a title="Narration" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narration">narration</a>.In practice it would be difficult to write literature that drew on just one of the four basic modes.</p>

<p>Description is the fiction-writing mode for transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story. Together with dialogue, narration, exposition, and summarization, description is one of the most widely recognized of the fiction-writing modes. As stated in&nbsp;<em>Writing from A to Z</em>, edited by Kirk Polking, description is more than the amassing of details; it is bringing something to life by carefully choosing and arranging words and phrases to produce the desired effect.The most appropriate and effective techniques for presenting description are a matter of ongoing discussion among writers and writing coaches.</p>

<p>A purple patch is an over-written passage in which the writer has strained too hard to achieve an impressive effect, by elaborate figures or other means. The phrase (<a title="Latin" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin">Latin</a>: "purpureus pannus") was first used by the Roman poet&nbsp;<a title="Horace" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace">Horace</a>&nbsp;in his&nbsp;<em><a title="Ars Poetica (Horace)" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_Poetica_(Horace)">Ars Poetica</a></em>&nbsp;(c. 20&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Before Christ" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Christ">BC</a>) to denote an irrelevant and excessively ornate passage; the sense of irrelevance is normally absent in modern usage, although such passages are usually incongruous. By extension,&nbsp;<strong>purple prose</strong>&nbsp;is lavishly figurative, rhythmic, or otherwise overwrought.</p>
