I'm doing a descriptive piece for my writing course and our assignment is to describe a place without injecting ourselves into the description or creating characters. So like no "I saw" or "he felt" kind of thing.
I was wondering though, if I were to write something like "as one admired...." or "a person could see...." would that be against the directions of the assignment? I just need another opinion.

"...is reported to be..." "...alleged to be..." "...is allegedly..." etc.

So your saying it would be best to use examples like what you mentioned rather than saying "one would" etc...

anonymous · Answer

"One would be sure to see..." One might marvel at..." are perfectly fine. BTW, it's "you're" as in "you are," not "your" as in "your car." No offense, just trying to hold on to our language here. Well, except for BTW.

Your examples are on the verge of not being in the rules... You are declaring a point of view. It would be better to say something like "it has been called the greatest place, or it is said to be the most beautiful... think of a travel brochure. 
If you mention what you are trying to describe it might easier to provide examples.
