Ms. Zych

I’ve been called upon to describe my friend Lisa by examining her visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory representations. I’ll also be looking at what represents her in terms of natural, artifactual, and mechanical media. 

Visual: Lisa is a slightly figure who looks as though she plays flute (and she does). You might catch her reading a book, or busying her hands with a bit of knitting (although I’ve never seen her knit). 

Tactile: Soft wool

Auditory: Lisa is sometimes loud, and sometimes quiet. She listens well, and absorbs sounds from all about her. There is sometimes restraint in her voice, and sometimes it is mixed with quiet confidence. If she were a bird she would sing at dawn.

Olfactory: A story you were told and liked.

Gustatory: I have known Lisa to survive on two celery sticks a day. She has a stomach the size of large radish, and has been mistaken for a jackrabbit. 

Natural: Lisa communicates mostly with her eyes, but if you don’t look twice you might miss her. Not a hand talker.

Artifactual: A comic book you like. A test from grade two with an A+ on it. A foreign stamp with nice colours. 

Mechanical: Lisa is a Grandfather clock that runs counter-clockwise when everything lines up.

Note: I do know what olfactory means.
