When texture is used in storytelling, it magnifies the reader’s sensory experience, drawing him or her into the scene. This thesaurus provides natural and man-made comparisons that readers will recognize; when used in a story, they can trigger a reader’s memories of that same texture, thereby creating strong connections between the fictional story and the real life of the reader.
