1. APPLYING IMAGERY

2. Ma. Ratliff’s Examples: HEAR- Each unravelling twist of the cellophane wrapper brought a cringe to the mother’s face. (This creates the image of a noisy wrapper.) SEE- A kaleidoscope of red and white filled the mother’s purse. (This creates the image of the colors of a peppermint.)

3. ADDING IMAGERY TO WRITING A kaleidoscope of red and white filled the mother’s purse. Katy’s mother never left home without a purse full of peppermints. The child begged her mother of peppermint. The mother agreed, but gave her a oh-so-familiar look that said, “Be quiet when you open it.” Katy soon forgot her location—church—and she ripped open the candy. Each unravelling twist of the cellophane wrapper brought a cringe to the mother’s face.

And bubbling sea-weeds as the waters go Swish to and fro Their long, cold tentacles of slimy grey.
