• The writer draws a real, tangible picture that makes the reader use his five senses to imagine it as much as possible, including the senses of touch, taste, and smell, but it is better not to use more than one sense in the same scene.
• Describes colors and their use in text well.
• Simile metaphors help give strength to the text, which makes the reader interact with the writer's mood and ideas. The writer has to put his thoughts and create his own metaphors in his text.
