Visual imagery
MINDING WHAT’S IN THE1. MIND On the trees surrounding me, the leaves are just beginning their

Nicholas Sparks)

Olfactory imagery 2. The wind smells just vaguely of smoke—like the end and the
beginning of something all at once. Delirium (by Lauren Oliver)
Gustatory imagery 3. I think of those soft, tender lips, what they would taste like in my
mouth. Maybe it’s sweet, or tasteless. I wonder how. -Delirium (by Lauren
Oliver)
Tactile imagery 4. I know that there’s nothing underneath me but air—that at any split
second I’m going to feel the wind shrieking around me as I drop down into
the water—the waves lashing underneath me open up for a moment. .-
Delirium (by Lauren Oliver)
Auditory imagery 5. We stand there for a while, listening to the tide sucking on the shore, the
waterheaving and tumbling with bits of rock: stone whittled to sand over thousands and thousands
of years. Someday maybe this will all be water. Someday maybe it will all get sucked into dust. -
Delirium (by Lauren Oliver)
