The narrator’s school and new home
The description of the narrator’s school and new home depicts the sense of sight to readers. The narrator says, “Every afternoon, I walked home from school. After they had picked the just opened suburb and then their empty lot, my parents were pleased that Winchester Elementary was built right across Sunnydale Lane. They had bought a brand-new two-story colonial based on the model, virtually identical with many of the other units in the subdivision development.” The reader can visualize and see the location of the new school and home.
The imagery of smell
The narrator remembers how mothers could bring cupcakes to school to celebrate their children's birthdays. In particular, the smell of crayons is still dominant in the narrator's memory. The narrator says, "I liked being so close to the school to school that I could feel it was mine. I have fond memories of school days: the red-headed girl who helped me tie my shoelaces; cupcakes mothers could bring to class to celebrate their children's birthdays; the smell of crayons, paste, and construction paper in art class..."
The imagery of crossing the road
The narrator recalls that he mastered the art of crossing the road despite being a young school-going boy. For instance, the narrator reminds readers that he used to look at both sides of the road before crossing. The narrator says, “Within a minute at the end of the class, I would dash home, pausing just long enough to look both ways before crossing the street.”
The imagery of hearing
When in danger, the robot hears Johnny’s voice and saves him from the attackers who wanted to destroy him. The author writes, “Because the robot fortuitously heard Johnny’s voice before any other when his electronic brain was activated, he had to obey the boy. Johnny wore a wristwatch that doubled as his radio link with the robot.”
