1. I chose this passage because it was one of the first that
had prominent examples of imagery in it. I noticed two main types of imagery,
visual and kinesthetic and also one example of auditory imagery.
2. The type of imagery that is most prevalent in this passage
is visual. The author uses this type of imagery to show Jack’s perspective of
the playground.
3. I think the best example of imagery in this passage is “they’re
metal with rough orange bits called rust”. In this quote, Jack is using two
types of imagery to describe the monkey bars. The first type he uses is visual,
by the use of the words metal, rough and orange we can paint a picture of what
they look like. Jack also uses kinesthetic imagery in this quote. The reader
can feel the rusty metal bars by the way the author decided to write this
passage.
4. The imagery in this passage is generally negative. The
author is writing about Jacks first experience at a playground and shed tries
to show how he is apprehensive and worried. She uses words like cold, scratchy,
rough and frozen to show how Jack is feeling at this time. For the most part, all
of these words have a negative connotation with them and the author uses them
to express Jacks thoughts and feelings at this time.
5. Through this passage the reader can see that Jack is feeling
uncomfortable. It’s his first experience trying new things and going to a
playground when all he wants to do is go “home”. After having the same routine
day after day for 5 years in a row, he is very uncomfortable seeing and trying
new things, which is shown in this passage.
6. I think the purpose of this piece of imagery is to highlight
on the fact that Jack is uncomfortable. As with most people, trying new things
can be hard, but with this passage and others, we see that Jack would rather
just go back to Room and never leave.
