Coldness (Kinesthetic)
Andersen begins the story by emphasizing the extreme cold the little girl is exposed to. With no hat or shoes, she shivers and her feet go red and blue in the cold—a sign of frostbite. This kinesthetic imagery emphasizes the extreme cold she is feeling as she succumbs to hypothermia and dies.
Striking Match (Auditory)
When the little girl strikes her first match, Andersen supplies the satisfying sound of the match head's combustion through auditory imagery, capturing the match's scratch and fizzle.
