  1. Voice Lesson #3 Imagery The verbal representation of sense experience, that brings the immediacy of sensory experience to writing and gives voice a distinctive quality.

  2. Consider This! The many men, so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I Within the shadow of the ship I watched their rich attire: Blue, glossy green, and velvet black They coiled and swam; and every track Was a flash of golden fire. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” • Discuss: • 1) These stanzas show the Marine’s changing attitude toward the creatures of the sea. What is the Mariner’s attitude in the first stanza? What image reveals this attitude. • 2) What is the Mariner’s attitude in the second stanza? Analyze the imagery that reveals this change.

  3. Apply • Think of a cat or a dog you can describe easily. • First, write a description which reveals a positive attitude toward the animal. • Then think of the same animal and write a description which reveals a negative attitude. Remember that the animal’s looks do not change; only your attitude changes. Use imagery rather than explanation to create your descriptions.
