Specific details are more important than labels

" Specific details are also more effective than labels, which give little meaningful information. Instead of saying that someone is a "moron" or "really smart," it's better to give details so that readers can understand the reasons behind the label: what does this person say or do that makes him or her deserve this label?" This little excerpt was from The Norton Field Guide To Writing I read for my English 103 class. This excerpt says it all, if your not going to use good description your writing is meaningless. Your readers will have no idea what you are talking about. Although you don;t realize it because you were the one who was there, you lived it, you saw it, you breathed it. Now it is your turn to describe it!
