It isn’t possible to create a unique description of an object without first taking time to observe it. But to
observe something means more than just to look at it -- the writer seeks not only the general details which
comprise the basic profile of this object (the apple is red, roundish, and large for an apple), but the specific
details which make the object unique:
“The apple has two leaves still attached to the stem; it doesn’t stand straight when resting on a tabletop, on
its left side a streak of yellow shines underneath the red, a small bruise hangs just below the apple’s crown
on its back side.”
