This happens when “I look around at my half-made bed with its threadbare pillows exposed... open closet door... notebooks and papers and sports magazines scattered on my desk... loose T-shirts litter the carpet” (Alphin 125). This makes the reader feel bad for Brain since a messy room can be a sign of depression. Similarly, the author uses auditory imagery to create a feeling of being overwhelmed.

An example of sensory details and imagery in my story was, “the corners were stained and squished.” I was describing to the reader how the man’s sign looked. Adding that allowed the reader to picture in their mind what the sign looked like rather than saying, “the sign was messy.” The reader would feel like they were present while the story was taking place because the image in their mind would be more detailed and

Sensory imagery is used to create a horrific tone in Elie Wiesel’s Night and the tone of despair in Mary Hill’s entry from Excerpts from the Trail of Tears Diary.

Imagery is a literary device that uses descriptive wording to put a vivid image of a scenario in your mind. Dickens uses imagery to describe the scenery and the change in Scrooge’s physical appearance throughout the course of the story. “eezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self- contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice.

Final Essay In the stories “Dracula” and “Station Eleven” both authors use great detail to create sensory details to create and expose different moods to the reader.

Those people had to work on Christmas, but they made the best of it and had their own Christmas. The ghost of Christmas Present also took Scrooge to his nephew’s house. At his nephew’s house, they were playing a game and Scrooge’s nephew was thinking of something while the other had to figure out what it was. He was thinking of “a savage animal, an animal that growled and grunted sometimes, and lived in London.”
