Can you describe something without using adjectives?

It can be done, although the sentence won't be particularly appealing or artistic. I'm assuming you mean not using any single word as an adjective and using nouns, verbs, or other parts of speech instead. If I'm misinterpreting the challenge overlook my example.

:) An example might be describing a coffee mug:It's the height of a cell-phone, holds coffee, and has a diameter the size of a package of cigarettes. There are flowers on it. I think they're Chrysanthemums.

They appear to have been painted by hand, with a color that matches that is found in pumpkins. The handle, which resembles a "C" that slants toward the bottom of the cup, has a color that matches the flowers on the body of the cup. Some of the words used:height of a cell-phone - several wordscell-phone - noun, if it's used as one word; although "cell" could be seen as an adjective if "cell phone" were used, in which case, the "cell" could be left out completely.

Holds - verbcoffee - nounand - articlehas a - verbdiameter - size - nounpackage/package of cigarettes - nounsflowers - nounon - prepositionit - nounthink - verbChrysanthemums - nounThey - pronounpainted - verbhand - nouncolor - nounmatches - verbfound - verbpumpkins - nounhandle - nounresembles - verb"C" - nounslants - verbbottom - nouncup - nouncolor - nounmatches - verbflowers - nounbody - nouncup - noun(I obviously left out some prepositions, articles, etc. , in the interest of time. ).

The question is further complicated by the fact that articles like the words "a, an, and the" are considered adjectives, as well as the word "this. "Using simile is a good idea, however. "Tables are wood and are planes."

Adjectives would fill in the missing information so much more vividly. "Tables are elevated wooden planes used for eating, writing, etc.

Using similes and metaphors- you give an impression of the object or what have you, but without sounding like a thesaurus. This is a bad one, but it is the first thing that popped into my head, and I have to run:"This table looks like a girl all dolled up for prom.

Of course you can. I know this is so late, haha. But, you can."This table is shiny.

" The table's surface shined in the sun as it emerged from the horizon.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
