Good writing has to be descriptive so that you can visualize what is going on in the text in your mind’s eye, and truly appreciate the piece of writing. Fish would probably argue this point with me. If he were here with me while I was trying to write this essay he would be trying to get me to delete the whole start of this paragraph (he’d probably point out all of my grammar issues too). Fish would want me to say that the piece doesn’t need to be descriptive to be good, that the reader can create meaning without the text being overly descriptive. Fish is correct when he says this. I believe his assertions fully, I just personally believe that readers shouldn’t always have to give meaning to the text they are reading by looking so deeply into it. That is to say, if a book is descriptive on its own and you don’t have to sort of guess or give a meaning to it, then that’s more enjoyable. Fish might say disagree and say that having the room to interpret is more fun, but he would agree that even in the more descriptive writing there are still room for interpretations.
