Multi-Sensory Images Simile, Metaphor, Analogy
Dominant Impression
An amazing smell wafted through the air as the oven opened, a mix of tomato, cheese and meat fed the senses and made the brain imagines a delicious meal ahead. Once the lasagna is down on the table everyone in the room sort of gravitates to it, like buzzards to a fresh kill. The anticipation of the food is palpable, next the garlic bread comes out and that was it. Everyone is already sitting at the table ready to eat. The minute you bite into the cheese, meat and tomato combo your taste buds send messages back to your brain with the taste and your brain sends messages to your body to take another bite. It is so good no one is talking anymore as the people devour the food. You chomp on bite after bite of the juicy lasagna and the crisp garlic bread, probably eating too much of the stuff, but at the moment this doesn’t matter; the meal is too good.
