In school, we are learning about noticing good paragraphs. And for our project, we have to identify certain writing styles. Lets say that the style is descriptive imagery. I have found a paragraph and I want to know WHY it's good. I don't know how to explain why it's good, it just is. Would anyone know any ideas on how to explain why it's good?? I'm not asking you to do my homework, I just need some ideas.

Say it describes the setting of the paragraph and sets a certain mood. It helps you better understand where the person is who is writing it and how they are feeling while they are writing it. It appeals to your five senses- smell, taste, sight, touch and sound so it is very realistic to you and it feels like you're right in the passage.
