J.E. #21: ImageryCopy: I also enjoy canoeing, and I suppose you will smile when I say that I especially like it on moonlight nights. I cannot, it is true, see the moon climb up the sky behind the pines and steal softly across the heavens, making a shining path for us to follow; but I know she is there, and as I lie back among the pillows and put my hand in the water, I fancy that I feel the shimmer of her garments as she passes. Sometimes a darling little fish slips between my fingers, and often a pond-lily presses shyly against my hand. Frequently, as we emerge from the shelter of a cove or inlet, I am suddenly conscious of the spaciousness of the air about me. A luminous warmth seems to enfold me. --- Helen Keller, The Story of My Life

J.E # 21: Cont’d1. Since Helen Keller was blind and deaf, tactile imagery

becomes a focus in her writing. List the tactile images in this passage.

2. Which images in the passage are more specific: visual or tactile? List and support answers with references to the passage.

*Define tactile: ApplyClose your eyes and touch some familiar objects at your desk

or in your backpack. Write down the tactile images. Then open your eyes and describe to a partner how those objects felt. Be sure to use specific, tactile images, not visual images or figurative language.

Visual vs. Tactile

VisualThe moon climbing up the sky behind the pines(creates only a generic picture; moon has no phase; the pine has no particulars; shining and shimmering has no color or shape)

TactileThe fish slips between [her] fingers; the plant she touches is a pond lily; the warmth that enfolds her is luminous.(images are specific, concrete, and exact; allows the reader to fully participate in the scene)
