The imagery of Beinecke Plaza
The description of Bainecke Plaza depicts the sense of sight to readers. The author writes, “Alex hurried across the wide, alien plane of Beinecke Plaza, boots thudding over flat squares of clean concrete. The giant cube of the rare-books collection to float above its lower story. During the day, its panels glowed amber, burnished golden hive, less a library than a temple.”
Sight imagery
Alex’s walking to the second floor depicts sight imagery. The author writes, “Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall was drowsing too, the classrooms closed up tight, hallways cast in energy-saving half-tight. Alex took the stairs to the second floor and heard noise echoing from one of the lecture halls.”
Hearing imagery
The moaning sound depicts hearing imagery. The author writes, “A low moan sounded. Alex’s gaze shot to Michael Reyes, a terrible image flashing through her mind: Reyes walking to find himself strapped to a table, surrounded by hooded figures, his insides on the outside. But his eyes were closed, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.”
Smell imagery
Smell imagery is depicted when the author writes, "She was tired of thinking about Darlington, but the smell of ginger, the heat is created at the back of her throat, brought him even more brightly alive. She saw his long body sprawled in front of the great stone fireplace at Black Elm."
