Description is essentially regarded as the most common and the most difficult of the varieties of composition. It is apparently a thing which no body fears to understand , while it is certainly one which only a master is able to do really well. Description aims at translating a perceptual experience into words by presenting the qualities of objects , persons , conditions and actions to the reader so as to make him vividly aware of what is perceived. This is artistic description. The other type is the scientific description which focuses on the most informative factual details without using vivid language.

The objective of this research is to describe the appropriateness and inappropriateness of participants in formulating identification in descriptive text.
