Windows to the World
- Read about imagery on pages 135-139.
- Take the phrase “Dinner was ready” and expand the sentence so that it appeals to all the senses. Using Browning’s Meeting at Night on page 136, find one or more images in each line. Discuss the effect of the imagery on the reader – what does he or she think, and more important, feel?
- Take the word pretty and its many synonyms – pleasing, pleasant, alluring, delicate, elegant, ravishing, fetching, captivating, enticing, tempting, and lovely. I want you to rank these words in order from negative to neutral to positive connotation. Include a short explanation for why the word falls in a certain position – your justification for the ranking.
- I have bought you a thesaurus – called The Synonym Finder. From now on, in your essays, I will be expecting you to use words that show more imagery – for instance enticing instead of pretty. This book can help you do that when you are stuck.
