freshly-burned grass stabbed my

feet.

>Sensory imagery is any
description that involves one or
more of the five senses -- touch,
sight, taste, smell and sound.
>Sensory imagery doesn't just
rely on adjectives. Metaphors and
similes can also play a prime role.
Grandmother lurched over and
grabbed the dusky skin of Randal’s
thin forearm with her leathery hand.
The folds and creases beneath her
skin coiled themselves out like
electrical wiring, like the bloated,
roughly-textured relief map of the
world that his
mother just posted above his bedside
table.
EXAMPLE
Sensory Images in The Little Prince
>The desert is a perfect image to suggest the
isolation of the characters - both the pilot
and the prince. There are few people there,
and primarily dangerous animals.
There is little to ensure survival.
>The desert symbolizes the moral of the
story: What is important, or essential, is not
visible to the eye.
D E S S E R T
>The author spends great time
describing the flower in all of her
beauty and vanity for the
reader/viewer to see how
entrancing the flower was and why
the prince was too quick to love
her for her appearance only.

Sensory Images in The Little Prince
> The author creates an image that is
lovely, melancholy, and ambiguous; the
prince merely falling onto the sand after a
flash of yellow from the snake only hints
at his death rather than presents it in
explicit detail.
