What sensory details are used to emphasize each of the five senses, and how do these details add to the story?

I suppose that the feeling of being hot is touch.  So we
see this right off when George starts sweating as soon as the nursery turns on and
becomes Africa.


Bradbury then describes the smells of the
savannah in very graphic terms.  The lions and other animals smell like rust, the dust
smells like paprika.


When Bradbury describes the lions
coming towards George, we get sight and sound and even
taste.


All of these details are important to the story
because they make it seem so real.  The emphasize how the nursery is not just a dream or
a projection.  It is so real that it affects all of your senses.
