"show don't tell"

Show don't tell is a very old writing technique that was used to guide writers. Patrica disagrees with this and says to show and tell. Like with the te cup in her essay. My writing in school mostly show about what is going on, and in doing this the person can tell what the larger picture is. If it would to subtract away from the credibility of the writing it was not done properly. If you can't show and tell something and then take away it's credibility there is quiet a problem with your writing.
The object in my room is my television. It's a Black JVC 42' LCD television, in HD. It was more unique then the other tv's because it has a IPOD dock on the bottom of it. IT flips down and a blue light lines the ipod dock section whenever the TV is on.It sits on a unique stand that is 2 and a half feet above the ground. I bought this tv while I was in Japan. It was 350 dollars off the original sale price. When I left Japan it was shipped backed to the U.S.A and somehow in transit it got a tiny scratch on it in the upper left hand corner on the top of the TV.
One thing I don't like about her article is she talked about her Grandmother mostly with a little bit of a tea cup. YOu can do that with anything, a pencil and talk about the store you bought it in, or the company that made it. The tea cup had no relevance to the story except where it came from.
