What is the difference between a description and a story?

Answer 1

Well really, there is quite an obvious difference. A description uses about a page or paragraph and describes something, setting a scene maybe but getting nowhere else.

A story has a storyline, a plot. It has been planned out and lasts a lot longer than a description.

But, both are gripping and exciting - don't worry - I can see why you're asking, I am an author so i thought this might be a help. Don't rely too much on me though I'm not that professional.

Good luck hope this helps!Sincerely,MitruC

Answer 2

A description provides details and characteristics about something, while a story narrates a series of events with a beginning, middle, and end. Descriptions focus on creating a vivid picture using sensory details, while stories typically involve characters, a plot, and a narrative arc.

Answer 3

a descriptive writing is a when you are describing something and a feature writing is when you are writing about a magazine.
