Writing 205

Once you walk outside whether it is sunny or cloudy, you use your visual senses to look and see who and what is going on outside. You look up and down the streets to admire the snowfall blanketing the streets, homes, and cars. Then you listen or use your auditory senses for cars, ambulances, and or kids playing in the area. If you’re scared of big dogs you would look and listen for the direction of the dog and which direction he is coming from. I like to smell or use my olfactory senses to smell the fresh air or smell burgers cooking or getting burnt from the nearby Burger King restaurant. I also can smell the garbage on Wednesday morning that lines the street in front of homes. When it is cold outside or hot we use the air temperature or thermal air to let us know how to dress for the day. When it’s really cold outside you dress in coats, hats scarves, and boots. Most of the time you don’t want to talk to anyone when you’re outside, because it’s too cold. But when it is warm or not you don’t mind standing outside and talking to people you meet walking. When I haven’t seen someone in a long time I do stop and give a hug and say, “Hello”. I talk to them for a few minutes but if I’m in a hurry I take their number and call them later.
