Read the vivid language from the story and draw what you visualize.
Vivid Language
Visualization
Seeds are being planted
and inside them there are
ten-foot-tall sunflowers
and mammoth pumpkins
and beans that just go on
forever.
He has watched a
spider work for hours
making a web like lace.
He has seen the sun
tremble and the moon
lie still.
His hat has housed
mice and his arms have
rested birds. A morning
glory has held tight to
his legs and a worm is
living in his lapel.
The wind is brushing his
borrowed head and the
sun is warming his
borrowed hands and
clouds are floating across
his button-borrowed eyes.
