The Rocket Climb

Sight imagery is depicted when the author describes the climbing of the Rocket. The author says, “The way junior slouches by the soda fountain, jaw slack as his shoulders and awe stretching his eyes, he ought to be watching a rocket climb into the blue instead of this fast-food menu. The park's dose of June has left a flushed, feverish slick on the boy's brow.”

Soda fountain

The narration about Junior and Henry on how they take Coca-cola soda paints a clear picture of an individual who does not take chances, thus, creating sight imagery. “Henry sends Junior to wash his hands before squaring up at the soda fountain. He fills the cup with thirty-two ounces of Coca-cola, takes two deep, fizzy gulps that tickle all the way down, then tops up the cup again. He picks over his shoulder and coast clear-heaps three greedy fistfuls of ketchup packets onto their way.”

The art room

The arrangement of the art room to fit the kindergartens depicts the sense of sight, thus creating powerful imagery to keep readers in pace with the events taking place. The author says, "The art room’s posters and Crayola material were more suited for kindergartens than teenage suicides and meth-heads. He'd hoped he wasn't the only one who found humor in their daily hour of Sesame Street craft before swapping horror stories in their group during the two o'clock block of the schedule.”
