2. J.E. #21: Imagery Copy: 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

3. J.E # 21: Cont’d 1.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: Apply Close 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.

4. Visual vs. Tactile Visual  The 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) Tactile  The 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)
