Be Specific

I was very relieved today to find a paper slip in my mail box indicating my English book had finally came in. There was a shipping issue but that's besides the point; I am now able to blog about something.

If someone stated "I walked in the woods." I would picture the woody area around my house back home. The trees would be scattered about with many twigs and leaves on the ground. There would be a dirt hill here and there. Tiny shrubs would also accompany the few trees in a refined area. 

"I walked in the Redwood Forest."

Now I see something very different. I'm now in a special park. Humongous dim red trees dominate the land. There are more shrubs, more twigs, more everything! Different shades of twigs help compliment the vast greenery that can be seen everywhere.

Theres a huge difference between my two descriptions; in fact, almost everything differed. I believe the reason for this is the fact that Redwood Forest paints a different portrait than just woods.
