PLZZZ need helppp!!!!What effect does the author's sensory description of the beautiful evening at the pier have on the story? W
myrzilka [38]

The sensory effect that the description causes is to make the reader feel and see the night on the pier as if he were present at the place. This has the function of extending the reader's understanding of the story, as he feels that he is part of the narrative.

<h3>What is sensory description?</h3>
  • A description that stimulates the five senses.
  • A description that makes use of imagery.
  • A description that uses many adjectives.

A sensory description is important to make the reader participate in the story. This is because, in addition to the mental images, the reader can feel the elements being described. This makes the reading more immersive, promotes greater reader participation, and makes the understanding of the story more comprehensive.
