The use of description that helps the reader imagine how something

looks, sounds, feels, smells, or tastes. Most of the time, it refers to

appearance.

e.g. “Tita was so sensitive to onions, any time they were being chopped, they say

she would just cry and cry; when she was still in my great-grandmother’s

belly her sobs were so loud that even Nacha, the cook, who was half-deaf,

could hear them easily.” --Like Water for Chocolate
