Read the excerpt from “the scarlet ibis.” that summer, the summer of 1918, was blighted. in may and june there was no rain and the crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun. one morning in july a hurricane came out of the east, tipping over the oaks in the yard and splitting the limbs of the elm trees. that afternoon it roared back out of the west, blew the fallen oaks around, snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth like a hawk at the entrails of a chicken. cotton bolls were wrenched from the stalks and lay like green walnuts in the valleys between the rows, while the cornfield leaned over uniformly so that the tassels touched the ground. doodle and i followed daddy out into the cotton field, where he stood, shoulders sagging, surveying the ruin. when his chin sank down onto his chest, we were frightened, and doodle slipped his hand into mine. suddenly daddy straightened his shoulders, raised his giant knuckly fist, and with a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself began cursing heaven, hell, the weather, and the republican party. doodle and i, prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house, knowing that everything would be all right. which phrases are examples of sensory imagery that make the details of the setting more vivid? check all that apply. crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun morning in july a hurricane came out of the east snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house

These are the phrases that provide examples of sensory imagery. Sensory imagery is that which appeals to the senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch smell). In this passage, there are many details that the author includes in order to appeal to the reader's senses. The crops that were withering and dying under the sun appeal to the reader's sense of sight. The hurricane appeals both to sight and to hearing. Finally, the voice appeals to hearing.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
