The five senses
In this essay I will use the five senses in describing a trip to the movies the five senses being sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Senses we all use every day and that most of us would find difficult to live without.
As im sitting at my house in my chair the leather smooth and black and smelling like pledge from my frequent cleaning seeing as I can’t stand to see it dirty a friend comes over and asks me if I would like to go with him to the movies .
I say sure thing and so I get up hearing the leather creak as my weight shifts in the chair and open the door locking it as I walk out while closing the door I notice it’s a little slippery with an oil like sheen on the knob up on further investigation i realize it is indeed burnt motor oil slightly perplexed oh how such a substance would have got on my door knob I make a comment “ where the hell did that come from” my friend curiously asks “where did what come from” I said “ the motor oil on my door knob” so he says “oh I checked the oil in my truck I must have got some on the door when I opened it” so with the mystery solved I get into his truck with can under my feet and say “onward to the movies” and onward we went.
We arrive at the movies and instantly smell the aroma of buttery popcorn instantly my tummy growls. Walking through the doors I see lights and arcade sounds coming from the arcade games in the corner we had about 15 minutes before the movie started so I paid for my ticket and walked over to the combat game picked up the fake blue weapon and put in a few coins to get it started. The game was turned up kind loud and kind of startled me when the actual game play started. My hands started getting a little sweaty after I played the game for about 7 minutes or so luckily the game designers thought of this and equipped the gun with little bumps for grip. Then bam I died so I looked at my phone at the time turning off the sound while I had it out.

    “He was a slim, dead, almost dainty young man of about twenty. He lay with one leg bent beneath him, his jaw in his throat, his face neither expressive nor inexpressive. One eye was shut. The other was star-shaped hole.”(124). Instead of Tim O'Brien telling us facts about this man, he was describing what was happening and how the man looked. Using the 5 senses can help describe in a meaningful way. That is because using the 5 senses can connect with the reader and create an image in their mind to understand what is happening on a deeper…

Along with the heavy demand for ammunitions and uniforms from the northern army gave profit to many northern factories.…

Many people who can experience both, take for granted their abilities and do not think about the possibility of not being able to see or hear. In order to describe sound and sight to a person who cannot experience either, it must contain descriptive words that use the three other basic human senses.

In “Dog Lab”, Claire McCarthy wanted to take advantage of the dog lab for further learning, but she was reluctant to attend the lab because killing a dog was inhumane and against…

    The Hot and Cold Chimneys exhibit at the Exploratorium consisted of three copper pipes extended vertically from a cabinet: one cold, the middle at room temperature, and the last hot. I was able to play with how touching one pipe affected my perception of the other pipes. I placed my left hand on the hot chimney and my right hand on the cold one. After waiting promptly 10 seconds I placed both hands on the center room temperature pipe. To the hand that had been on the cold pipe, it seemed hot. However to the hand that had been on the hot pipe it seemed cold. Even though I knew that the center pipe was at a lukewarm temperature, my senses were telling me otherwise. To what extent should we value information we draw from our senses?…
