When it comes to description, let nouns and verbs do the heavy lifting. Harper Lee’s writing in To Kill a Mockingbird doesn’t rely on flashy adjectives—instead, she paints a clear picture by simply showing us Dill through precise details. Strong writing isn’t about overloading description but about choosing the right words.
Writing Through to Kill a Mockingbird and Writing Through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe are video-based self-studies, made with the assumption that attentive readers can improve their own creative writing. Join Jonathan Rogers on a journey into the literary elements of these books. Admire the description, dialogue, concision and pacing of the classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and To Kill a Mockingbird. Jonathan Rogers of Grammar for Writers teaches high school students how to improve their own creative writing by examining the literary elements of these classics.
