Reading Question

1. This week, on Thursday, we learned about imagery. Find an example of imagery in the book, quote it, and explain how it appeals to your senses.

My quote of imagery is actually the same one I used in class, mostly because it is one of my favorites. It is on page 121 and is the scene where Marie and her father are eating breakfast with Madame Manec. The quote is "The eggs taste taste like clouds. Like spun gold. Madame Manec says, 'I think she likes it,' and laughs again.... 'How about peaches my dear?'... Seconds later, she's eating wedges of wet sunlight." This piece of text is such a clear description of the textures and tastes of the food that she is eating that when I read it I could taste the food myself. I would love to see more books use such powerful imagery to help move the story along.
