From beginning to end, Meridian streets Sensu's restaurant description is all show. Time and time again I find myself lost in the text as if I'm truly attending this restaurant experiencing its luxuries. One could conclude with this short description of detail that, "You've been transported to another, hipper dimension."
Walking through the open doors, you find yourself not just at a restaurant, but at a sanctuary of restlessness. Entering Sensu's palace, dumbfounded; "Shallow pools dappled with rose petals greet you in the foyer with a gaggle of fashionably distracted hostesses that stand ready to escort you up a curvaceous staircase with all the dramatic buildup of the best amusement-park rides."
With this vivid, colorful description of diction and language Sensu's review astounds reader's with such relatively of what is presented through the doors. This style of writing easily catches the reader's attention right off the bat. With such word usage it makes imagery very possible to imagine. The writer conveys simple thoughts into a "spiced up" version of marketing with his picture perfect summarizing.
I find myself trying to incorporate much more diction, but with realistic meaning so one can further understand the true meaning of whatever the case may be with imagery. From my point of view, without imagery; I become full of boredom and uninterested with the lack of word usage especially when one repeats the same thought throughout the whole piece.
Nick, after reading this blog I agree completely that it is easy to get lost in this article. The examples that you used from the text really emphasize the point that this article shows and doesn’t bore you by telling. Not only is it evident that you caught on to all the vivid descriptions throughout this article, but as a reader, I can tell that you enjoy using diction and almost a different way of describing things to people. Also, the way you noted imagery within this article is on point, because this review is full of imagery and almost overly-descriptive parts that really take the reader to this restaurant. I think that you pulled out the most important aspects of this article, backed them up with good quotes, and also did a good job of showing why you used that article with your own style of writing.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this article it pursuaded me to believe that Sensu's restaurant article was very descriptive and used alot of detail to make you feel like you were there. You used examples that catch the readers attention, not only in his writing but also in yours. You used your own use of style to bring the whole blog together. You used your own style by saying, " The writer conveys simple thoughts into a "spiced up" version of marketing with his picture perfect summarizing." This shows that you can not only pick out details and devices in writers work but you can use them in your own writing. I think that you did a good job at pulling out good quotes and using them in your writing.
