Imagery Questionaires (One Thousand Dollars)

1. What scenes, moments, descriptive passages, phrases, or words stand out in your reading of the story?

     The scene when Gillian throws the envelop away and tells Tolman and Sharp that he used all the money to gamble. That made me think of one word which is lies.

2. Did a particular image make you feel happy, or frightened, or disturbed, or angry? Why?
     I felt annoyed when Gillian lied to Tolman and Sharp that he used all the money on gamble and all the money goes to Miss Hayden, a woman he loved.

3. Which of your five senses did this image appeal to? What do you associate with this image, and why? What do you think the author wants you to feel about a certain image?

      I would say feeling is one of the five senses this image appeal to, but I didn't really feel what Gillian did. Gillian gave all the money to his loved one, but I would never do the same thing as he did. So actually I felt angry when I thought about this image. I also think that the author wants the reader to feel what Gillian feel which is his love.

4. How do you think your reactions to the imagery in the story contribute to the overall meaning of the story?

     My reaction would stay unchaged. I think this story is trying to inform us about Gillian's love that he would do anything for it even it costs all of his money.
