Descriptive Piece: Specificity Exercise

Specificity—great examples!

Rhoda and I worked until we were completely exhausted planting new flowers, digging trees, and weeding my back yard.

My little cousin Erika was teething and howled the entire evening.

The taco salad I ordered at the Mexican restaurant was nothing but wilted lettuce, mushy tomatoes, and dried out meat.

The smell of a dead rabbit permeated throughout the hallway when Jim opened the door to his apartment.

From the window you can see the mountains, rolling fields, and beautiful pink sunset.

Mr. Jenkins lifted Tanya from the playground’s asphalt and placed a Spiderman bandage on her freshly cut knee.

Buster’s dog collar ID jingled all night from him chasing the fleas on his skin.
