The first example of imagery is on the first page first sentence:” It was a dull autumn day and Jill Pole was crying behind the gym.” The narrator simply starts the reader imagining a sort of sad day sometime between August and December. Behind the gym assuming it is like an alleyway of some sort. With a character crying causing the reader to believe that the character is upset.…
In poem the imagery job was to put reader in the shoe of the young white narrator. Imagery allowed reader to come to a conclusion of why would narrator think like she did. An example of this were in line nine through ten, where narrator claimed that IQ the African American man had a casual, cold, alertness in his eye as if he planned to may her. Another examples is line twenty six through thirty one, as she explained how man can break her back like a stick maybe for vengeance on people that are breaking his.…
An example of imagery is “It was like coming into the cold marbled room of a mausoleum after the moon has set. (Bradbury 10)” Bradbury uses this statement to show us as the reader that he wants us to feel or create an image of Montag walking into a room that pretty much lifeless and dark. The author uses this feeling and imagery because in the novel the characters portray humans that can not think for themselves so therefore it seems…
Imagery is used in multiple points around the text and is possibly the most important poetic element. For instance in the text the speaker uses imagery such as “the boys stamp, the girls shriek, and the drum booms…” by adding this imagery the author is showing how caught up in the action everyone is. This quote reveals the atmosphere…
Imagery is the use of descriptive language in order to paint a picture in the mind of the reader. If Anne Bradstreet reads a sentence describing a tree and Jason Mraz reads the same sentence 200 years later they both have the same picture in their mind. In "To My Dear and Loving Husband," Anne Bradstreet puts a picture in the mind of the reader of tremendous amounts of gold…
The first formal issue addressed in this poem is imagery. Imagery is a set of mental pictures or images created by a piece of writing. This gives you a mental picture of the Florida Keys. “And the sea having slept all night seems heated, immobile, uncentralized, robust, abundant, low- voiced. On a dead tree just above offshore, fourteens pelicans…
Imagery is visually descriptive or figurative language. “There are green belts along the rivers and creeks.” The greater detail in Momaday’s passage gives the audience a visual image that helps create of sense of beauty. The audience is able to see what a beautiful land the plains are. Similarly, it is just as simple to imagine the land of Brown’s passage. “Day after day the sun baked the dry earth drier, the streams stopped running” Browns lack of detail caused the readers to imagine a land of nothingness and a land of disgusting worthlessness. Both of the writers used imagery in a way to accurately depict their perceptions of the world around them.…
“He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face” – tactile imagery. The tactile imagery is effective to this particular story because while reading the story, it is like the water is slapping my own face as I try to escape.…
The author employs imagery throughout the poem by pairing vivid colors with other characters and figures to contribute to a more complex meaning. This visual imagery is found in line 3 when the speaker described…
From the start, the creation and fall of Man is summarized in this: the creation and reason for human nature is "God gave Man free will, from Man's free will, sin and death came into the world." Although Milton is not necessarily saying the Fall of Man went down the way he wrote it, the story is much more believable – and more entertaining – if the characters seem like they could have been real people.…
Imagery is sensory details in a work; the use of figurative language to evoke a feeling, call to mind an idea, or describe an object. Imagery involves any or all of the five senses. Debra uses imagery many times in her writing. “ Driving west from Fargo on I-94, the freeway that cuts through the state of North Dakota, you’ll encounter a road so lonely, treeless, and devoid of rises and curves in places that it will feel like one…
Images that are used to create feeling. They help us experience the words with our five senses. Touching, smelling, hearing, tasting, and seeing are used in The Most Dangerous Game to create imagery. This sentence is a perfect example of astounding imagery “It’s so dark,” he thought, “that i could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids--.” The setting of the story is immediately given. When you read this sentence, you can imagine how dark it is by actually closing your eyes like Rainsford and experience how dark the night sky really was. Another example of imagery is, “The hunter shook his head several times, as if he were puzzled. Then he straightened up and took from his case one of his black cigarettes; its pungent incense like smoke floated up to Rainsford’s nostrils.” You can smell the incense like it was right in front of you. You can imagine the smoke rising in the air as Rainsford breathed it in. You can also sense the nervousness and suspense, and suspense is a reader’s favorite…
“Not that this color is not important—in tales as elsewhere, white stands for luminosity and untainted sheen, thus for luminous heaven as much as for purity”(Da Silva, 2007). The thought was confusing without the paradox symbols. Edie sees the mat as cold or pure but when she walks on it, it becomes warm. Much like Edie’s innocence is warming up to passion. “First she depicts a girl, “thirteen going on fourteen, the hinge of your life, when you are . . . nor child nor woman . . .…

In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses a metaphor to figuratively express Romeo’s feelings of sadness from his heart being broken by Rosaline. During Act 1, scene 4, Romeo and his friends were “invited” to a capulet’s party. Romeo was in a state of sorrow because Rosaline turn down his love. Mercutio wants to comfort him and lift his spirit. Mercutio asked Romeo to dance, but Romeo did not move an inch and tells Mercutio, “Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes with nimble soles; I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move”(Shakespeare 805). Romeo’s shoes were compared to lead. The metaphor is most effective because it directly compares the two nouns giving the readers a better understanding of what is happening.…
