Presentation transcript:

J.E # 24 Imagery: 3/20/13 And now nothing but drums, a battery of drums, the conga drums jamming out, in a descarga, and the drummers lifting their heads and shaking under some kind of spell. There’s rain drums, like pitter-patter but a hundred times faster, and then slamming-the-door drums and dropping-the-bucket drums, kicking-the-car- fender drums. Then circus drums, then coconuts-falling-out-of-the-trees-and-thumping-again-the-ground drums, then lion-skin drums, then the wacking-of-a-hand-against-a-wall drums, the beating-of-a-pillow drums, heavy-stones-against-a-wall drums, then the-thickest-forest-tree-trunks-pounding drums, and then the-mountain-rumble drums, then the-little-birds-learning-to-fly drums and the big-birds-alighting-on-a- rooftop-and-fanning-their immense-wings drums… - Oscar Hijuelos, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love 1.Read the passage aloud. How does Hijuelos creat the auditory imagery of drumming? In other words, how do the words imitate the sounds they represent? 2.Hijuelos repeats the word then eight times in this passage. What does this repetition contribute to the auditory image of drumming? Write a paragraph in which you capture two different sounds at a sporting event. In your paragraph try to imitate the sounds themselves with your words. Don’t worry about correct grammar. Instead, focus on creating a vivid auditory image. Share w/ a partner. 2-3 volunteers to share would be great!
