3. Characteristics of a Good Descriptive Paragraph

Examples:
Slash
Slash is one
of my favourite guitar players. Even though his skill is not good enough, his
style in playing guitar amazes me. He is tall; moreover, he has white skin with
a hairy skull and his name tattooed on his right upper arm. Besides, he has
special characteristic that differentiates him with other guitarists. For
example, his long black curly hair covered by magician hat and tight skin pants
always accompany him when he rocks his fans with ‘Les Paul Gibson’. Instead of
these, he also uses some accessories such as rings, silver bangles, skull
necklace, and a gold ‘nose ring’ jabbed on the right nostril. To summarize,
Slash is very stylish rock guitarist in his period.
