About This Topic

  

A descriptive essay is an essay that describes something like a person, location, thing, event, or process.  Descriptive essays can be non-fiction, but they can also be fiction.  The goal is to allow the reader to visualize whatever is being described.  Good descriptive essays evoke all of the senses, so that the reader knows how what is being described looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels.

Nociceptive Pain in End-Of-Life
The difference between these articles and that of the two quoted studies is several-fold. Firstly, both McMillan and Small (2007) and Rosedale and Fu (2010) feature a certain disease - cancer – and described reduction of pain in connection with that. Ferrell and Coyles (2010), on the other hand, was more general, drawing up lists of drugs that are allegedly helpful in reducing pain, describing these drugs, and using their research studies to advice patients on all matters related to these drugs including their limitations. Tables, too, generously sprinkle their commentary and categorize the information in clear form. Ferrell and Coyles (2010), therefore, provided their readers with a descriptive meta-analytic study that was intended for the informative intent of caregivers (and patients). Readers are accorded the information of the various drugs available to them for relieving their pain (or the pain of patients). All necessary details are also provided so that readers can know when to best apply them.

Today's students have grown up in an ever changing visual world. With the evolution of television, video cameras, cell phones, GPS navigational systems, and gaming systems there is video everywhere you look. Our students in the twenty-first century have been exposed to some form of video technology in almost every aspect of their lives.
