6. Discussion
Now, I want to ask you a question. Do you have
any idea why we are talking about the five (Answers may vary.)
senses? Class, do you know what sensory
imagery is?

SENSORY IMAGERY is a literary device used in

a literary text that presents a series of words
that allow readers to create mental images on
their mind. These images explore the five
human senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and
taste.
There are 5 types of sensory imagery. These are
visual imagery, auditory imagery, olfactory
imagery, gustatory imagery and tactile imagery.

Visual imagery focuses on the physical

attributes of a person, object and place. It
includes: color, size, shape, lightness or
darkness, shade or hue, and pattern.
Example:
She accepted the bouquet. It was filled with her
favorite flowers - white roses, purple irises, and
soft sprays of baby’s breath. The flowers swayed
in the breeze, almost as if they were dancing in
her delight.
Gustatory imagery focuses on how the food
tastes. Simply, this is your sense of taste.
Gustatory imagery includes the five basic tastes:
salty, sweet, bitter, sour and savory.
Example:
The candy melted in her mouth and swirls of
bittersweet chocolate and slightly sweet but
salty caramel blended together on her tongue.
Auditory imagery focuses on how the way
things sound. It includes alliteration and
onomatopoeia in creating sounds.
Example:
The pitter-patter of rain and whispering breeze
had progressed into a gushing downpour and
howling wind.
Olfactory imagery describes what we smell. It
includes fragrance and odor.
Example:
The sweet fragrance of honeysuckle always
reminded Jenny of her mother's perfume. He
woke up to the smell of burnt toast and greasy
bacon, when all he wanted was coffee. As she
entered the warm house, she was welcomed by
the scents of hot apple cider and cinnamon.
Tactile imagery is our sense of touch. It
focuses on what we can feel when we touch
something. It includes: where you can feel it,
temperature, textile (smooth or rough), soft or
hard, slimy or sticky, blunt or pointed.
Example:
You are caught in a sudden downpour of rain
walking from your car to your front door and get
very wet and cold, making it hard to open the
door. When you are finally able to open the
door, the living room is nice and warm for a
little while but it doesn't last long. You jump
into a hot shower and the water warms you up
again.
7. Application
Activity
Let’s divide the class into two (2) groups. This
side (right) will be the group 1 and this side (left)
will be the group 2.

I will give you an excerpt and your task is to

determine the sensory imagery used and you
are going to underline the specific word/s that
describes it.
Yes ma’am

Is my instructions clear?

Excerpt:
A Room With a View, E.M. Forster (1908).
“The hour was approaching at which the
continental breakfast begins, or rather ceases,
to tell, and the ladies bought some hot chestnut
paste out of a little shop, because it looked so
typical. It tasted partly of the paper, in which it
was wrapped, partly of hair oil, partly of the
great unknown.”

The Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins

Gilman (1892). “The color is repellant, almost
revolting; a smouldering, unclean yellow,
strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight. It
is a dull yet lurid orange in some places, a sickly
sulphur tint in others.”
