Even in this short simple description, Tracey Baptiste is using details to paint a picture for us.
She tells us about a thing—a scab—but also tells us the scab was under a bandage, that the bandage belonged to Corinne’s father, that it covers a wound, and the scab hurts a little to touch. She's building a tiny world for us.
In this lesson we’ll look at some of these types of detail, so we can describe worlds that we can either see or imagine.
