The story is provided depth by its consistent use of aural imagery that compliments the visual imagery. The unrivaled usage of aural imagery is located on the third section, it states “Striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand: a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the strokes of a blacksmith's hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality.” You can easily hear the same hollow drumming it describes with its usage of relation and vocabulary or both, for example, “Metallic percussion.” This section is powerful not only due its vivid description but its connotation. The metallic percussion and ringing is his watch which is ticking away the final seconds of his life and acting as a reminder of his inevitable fate.

As I got out of my car to walk under the festive tents a lady who seemed quite important and knowledgeable about the Bridgeport Farmers Market walked by ringing a bell.

Conversations and chatter were surrounding me as I began to enter the tiny outdoor supermarket.

Henry Bailey suffered from bronchial troubles. He would cough and cough until his narrow face turned scarlet, and his light blue, derisive eyes filled up with tears; then he took the lid off the stove, and, standing well back, shot out a great clot of phlegm – hss – straight into the heart of the flames. We admired his for this performance and for his ability to make his stomach growl at will, and for his laughter, which was full of high whistlings and gurglings and involved the whole faulty machinery of his chest. It was sometimes hard to tell what he was laughing at, and always possible that it might be us. After we had sent to be we could still smell fox and still hear Henry's laugh, but these things reminders of the warm, safe, brightly lit downstairs world, seemed lost and diminished, floating on the stale cold air upstairs.
