Imagery of hearing
The noise that comes from Rowan’s steps as he walks up the stairs depicts the sense of hearing. The author writes, “Today, however, she was in a fair command of herself and merely stamped up the stairs into the tower. A vague rumble of noisy thoughts tossed around the floor of the station for a few minutes, but the computer and analog men ignored the depressing effects with the gratitude of those saved from the greater disaster."
Imagery of Feeling
Ackerman explains how Rowan's laugh touched him and made him feel her. The author says, "The Rowan's laugh broke off in a gasp of surprise, and Ackerman could feel her slamming up against her mental shields."
The imagery of the Dynamos
The author uses dynamos to depict the sense of hearing to readers. The author writes, "The silence was broken only by the whine of the dynamos dying to an idle burr. The author continues to write, "The dynamos whined noisily, and then the launcher was empty." Therefore, the description of the dynamos engages readers to listen to what is taking place keenly.
Imagery of Sight
The imagery of sight is depicted when Ackerman sees Loftus appearing and disappearing. The author writes, “Loft disappeared. A moment later, Ackerman could see him near a personnel carrier. Not only had he been set gently down, but various small necessities, among them a shaving kit, floated out of nowhere onto a neat pile in the carrier.”
