Review Chapters 9 and 10 below and then think about the images that the author has created for you in these chapters.
The chapter began with Rennie going to the bakery to have her brother Rick teach her how to make breadsticks. At first, Rick was not sure that Rennie was prepared to work in the bakery, but she convinced him that she had a good plan.
Rick explained the steps of preparing and kneading the dough to Rennie. She was impatient, but she reminded herself often of Papa and tried to convince herself that if she continued working hard she would help Papa to get home.
The chapter ended with Rennie loading a dozen crusty brown breadstick bundles tied in groups of four into a bag to sell in the neighbourhood.

She received various reactions, showing us that not everyone in Whitney Pier had the same attitude toward their neighbours.
The chapter began with Rennie meeting friendly Mrs. Hobinsky who bought some breadsticks and assured Rennie that she was doing a good, thoughtful thing by helping her family. Mrs. Hobinsky also told Rennie not to pay attention to anyone
who might not be nice to her, although Rennie couldn't see why anyone might not respond positively to her tasty breadsticks.
Rennie's sales were going so well that, when she got to Julie's street, she decided to see if the McLean family would buy some breadsticks. However, Julie did not welcome her visit and Mrs. McLean slammed the door on Rennie. As Rennie
walked away angrily, she met another neighbour, Mrs. Bern, who brought Rennie to her house so she could buy some bread.
Mrs. Bern, who is Jewish, reassured Rennie that the war, although difficult, was necessary to stop Hitler's Germany from killing Jews. She encouraged Rennie to believe that the right side would win the war, and the people who were
angry at the Italians in Whitney Pier would realize that they were wrong.
The chapter ended with Rennie running into Maxie MacPhee who was roller skating. Rennie shouted at Maxie, who did not understand that Rennie blamed Sgt. MacPhee for arresting her Papa. Maxie and her father bought the rest of Rennie's
breadsticks. When Rennie got home and told Mama this, Mama told Rennie that the police officer was a good man.

You know that authors use images that relate to the five senses of sight,
sound, smell, taste, and touch to describe
characters, settings, and the events that occur in stories.
Some examples from the fairy tale Cinderella have been given below. Read the examples carefully so you understand how authors use the senses to create images.

| Imagery through the Senses | Examples from Cinderella |
| Sight What did the character see? |
- In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared.
- The pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman, in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes. |
| Hearing What did the character hear? |
- Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball, but, all of a sudden, she heard the
sound of a clock: the first stroke of midnight!

- As Cinderella entered the ballroom, the aroma of fresh roses and other blooms and the delicious perfume of the other ladies rose to meet her.
|
| Touch What did the character feel? (Usually related to weather but it could be something the character actually touches.) |
- One day, beautiful, new dresses arrived at the house. Cinderella ran her fingers over the lace and sequins. How she wished for a gown like this! |
