Presentation Transcript

  1. OA October 27, 2011 • When we think of nature we often think of beautiful images such as birds, trees and flowers. However, nature is not always calm and beautiful. Sometimes it can be destructive or violent. Think of a time in your life when nature has been destructive or violent. What did it look like? How did that make you feel? What did it smell like? Etc.

  2. Imagery Imagery is the use of vivid description, usually rich in sensory words, to create pictures, or images, in the reader's mind.

  3. Imagery • An image is language that describes something that can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled. • The images in a literary work are referred to, when considered together, as the work’s imagery.

  4. Sight • The sun’s beams shimmered and danced on the ocean’s gentle waves.

  5. Smell • The fragrant roses drifted through the room like elusive ghosts.

  6. Sound • Although they could not see outside the cabin, they could hear the eerie tapping, tapping, tapping, of his knife upon their door.

  7. Taste • The cheesecake’s exquisite flavor traveled from his tongue to his spine.

  8. Touch • The icy breeze gently brushed against the hair on her neck, and goose-bumps shortly followed.

  9. Exit Slip • How does this poem reflect the Romantics view of nature? (You can use the cheat sheet I gave you about Romanticism!)
