1 Translating an object means moving it without rotating or reflecting it. You can describe a translation by stating how far it moves an object, and in what direction.  The fourth (and last) type of symmetry is a glide reflection.
A literary description is a text that explains the features of something. A description uses language that helps the readers or listeners to form images in their minds about the thing being described. Descriptions may be of: 1  physical things. 2  cultural events. 3  natural things.
2Description (descriptive writing): Think of description as painting a picture with words. Of course, when you use words, you can paint more than what you see, but also what you feel, hear, smell and taste. The idea of description is to make the thing described seem real to your readerâs imagination. Not much writing is purely descriptive; writers typically weave description into longer narrative works.
