Reader But

What are some words that can make the reader feel certain emotions?

I am an aspiring writer, and I recently came across some writing tips. One was to use certain words to make a reader feel an emotion. Like when writing from the viewpoint of a wounded soldier you want to convey pain, sadness, maybe loneliness. But for a child you want happy, upbeat or funny.
Are there certain words, sounds, or phrases that can do this?

My first bite into the savory delicacy shook loose a memory from the murkiest depths of my mind and I could feel the image rise to the top like a leviathan.

I just read a sentence very similiar to this a few minutes ago and it caused me to visualize very strongly. I saw the sentiment more than felt it but it was such a unique and wonderful way to describe a memory. I think using unique and often unassociated thoughts put a picture in your mind and causes it to stick to you for months after you've put the book aside.

For me it is never just one word but more of a turn of phrase. "His skin was the color of honey with the sun trapped within it."
"Her eyes were molten..."
"His face was a study of shadow and light that made me long to touch it to confirm it was real."
"His voice reminded me of a 1968 muscle car...."
"She was built like the old pinup girls, hourglass was made for her figure."

Those phrases paint a vivid and distinct picture and I love each one because they are so unique unto themselves and always make me see those images in those things.
