Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and complete the statement that foll

ows. I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me. All of the following excerpts develop the plot through the narrator’s mental activity except __________. “I . . . congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped.” “I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .” “[T]he death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous . . . .” “By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung . . . .”

What are the barrier in using sensory imageries well in writing?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The main barriers when using sensory images in writing lie in subjective issues of the sender and receiver of the message. Thus, when writing a sensory image, a situation is being captured in letters and phrases that, in reality, is visually perceived and is interpreted and valued differently, depending on who and how they see it. Thus, for example, the description of a certain place can have positive or negative connotations depending on who is reading the text.

On the other hand, given the infinite variety of elements that make up reality, and on the contrary, the limited specificity of the language, the description of a natural environment can be interpreted differently depending on who reads it.
