The literary tool, Synesthesia
is for me the most difficult device to master. In retrospect some of the other tools that we were
introduced to seemed very difficult when first attempted.
Original
THE INVASION- May 21’
The smell of the raw earth
combined with the revolting scent of apple cider vinegar permeated the
nostrils.
Revised
THE INVASION- May 21’(with
synesthesia added)
The smell of the raw earth
combined with the revolting scent of apple cider vinegar permeated the
nostrils, creating an image in my mind’s
eye of an ugly asymmetrical vase, chipped and replete with crazing, full of
disheveled flowers, rotting, putrid and malformed, in hues of purple, green, brown
and grey presented in a most uncomplimentary
arrangement that left an unsavory taste in the mouth like eating a soup made
of entropy and evil as the continual noise of their advancing destruction droned
on.
