The imagery of hearing
The sense of hearing is depicted when the author writes that Mrs. Hall does not read her card loudly compared to others. The narrator says, "When Mrs. Hall slides my card out of the envelope, she does not read it aloud like all the others. She hesitates, and I know that she must really love it."
The Imagery of Sight
The sense of sight is portrayed to the reader at the beginning of chapter three, when the narrator visits the principal's office. While at the principal's office, the narrator gazes out of the window silently. The narrator says, “I sit in the principal’s staring out the window silent.” Staring outside the window aids the reader to have an imaginary sight of what is going on outside the principal’s office.
Petersen Farms
A vivid picture of the Petersen Farms is painted when Ally describes the paintings and photographs of cows inside. The description depicts the sense of sight to readers, and they can get an imaginary glimpse of the restaurant being described. The narrator says, "When I finally get to Park Road, I head into A.C. Petersen Farms, which is a weird name for a restaurant. They have pictures of cows inside and outside, but it is on a busy street with tons of stores.”
The Imagery of Smell
The sense of smell is depicted to the reader when Ally says, “The backdoor swings open and my brother, Travis, is there, smelling like grease. Looking like he rolled in it. And I instantly feel better.” The reader can have a feeling of how the narrator’s brother is smelling like grease. Instead of feeling put off by the smell of the grease, the narrator feels better.
