A descriptive essay is most effective if it is packed with details that vividly portray the object or place being described. Set aside some time to observe your subject closely and
write down the details you notice. Record sensory details, and remember that you are not
limited to describing visual details—sounds, scents, tastes, and textures are important,
too.
It is best to observe your subject directly if possible. However, if you are not able to do
so—for instance, if you are writing about a faraway vacation spot you visited last
summer—you can still take time to brainstorm details. Use photographs, letters, or
conversations to jog your memory. Then write down the sensory impressions you recall.

you have to think of a subject you have of your past and write about it figurative language spice it up and make it with sensory details and appealing to a reader.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
