By: Eastlyn Koons After re-reading all of the previous stories, I picked the story that had what I thought, the best examples of descriptive writing. Putting all these thoughts in account, I chose“The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. All throughout the story, there is so much description. The first page is a great example. I do not have enough space to put down the whole entire first page but I can give examples. Examples such as, “The flower garden is prim, the house a gleaming white, and the pale fence across the yard stands straight and spruce.” They are explained in great detail. It shows the setting with extreme clarity. James Hurst does a wonderful job painting pictures in the reader's’ mind with all of his details. That happens throughout
