Compose a descriptive analysis of a place you feel has special and memorable qualities. This place must in some way tie into your education, or the education of someone you know. Describe the location in rich detail and descriptive language. Then, analyze the location by breaking it into distinct parts to add further insight and interest to your topic.
First task for this assignment is to select a location or topic. Pick a place that has a lot to offer.
to write a descriptive intro and overview of it. composing a few paragraphs about what one would first see and experience as they approach the place. Be sure to describe the outside of the building or place, including things like parking lots, neighboring buildings, and the usual people in and around the area, as well as the sounds of the place and area. Visual imagery may be key here. Next, you probably want to describe the interior, or next stage of the place one would naturally experience. Sensory detail here is key: sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches could all be fair game. You could also include a bit of conversation, or direct the reader’s attention to a specific feature of the place. Try to compose a couple pages that are rich in detail and let the reader experience the things the place has to offer.
Lastly breaking down the analysis a bit more and offering specific insight into how the place could be viewed as having distinct parts that help it function as a whole. For example, analyzing a place such as a school could naturally turn into discussing the layout and separate parts of the school and how well they function. Perhaps the science lab has incredible smells and mystery, and the hallways have unique features. This analysis is heavily tied to descriptive writing. The idea here is to use your powers of description to first introduce and familiarize your reader (in part one), then to further describe, categorize, and analyze the parts and/or processes that together make the place memorable.
