What do you think “show don’t tell” means? Show don't tell- Show doesn't tell means mean's instead of telling what the character is doing you show his/her expressions like showing how the person is upset, angry and show how he is feeling that and what is he/she doing that makes the reader think that the expression or action of the character is Happy or Sad. It doesn't have to only be an expression for example if someone is standing by a tall building and they have to look up and squint there eyes, or cover there head and look all the way up, that is showing what they are doing instead of telling Task: How can we re-write these sentences to “show” and not “tell”? The buildings were tall. Sarah was really upset. She was so happy to see him. The lake was beautiful. - The residential buildings leaning, over covering the sky. Sarah turned dull staying silent, depressed; with the tears falling down her sorrowful face. Her face looked joyful, As she enhanced the memories of her dead husband. The lake was clean and calming, The Lake is Sarah's special and most calming and memorable location.
