In the story "The Chrysanthemums," by John Steinbeck, imagery is important in the development of his characters. The man who drives the wagon and fixes things is a perfect example of imagery. "His worn black suit was wrinkled and spotted with grease. The laughter had disappeared from his face and eyes the moment his laughing voice ceased. His eyes were dark, and they were full of the

Personification is a great way to make the story very lively and exciting. One example of personification, the muttering and growling of the sea breaking on a rocky shore (Connell 19), is a great representation of this device because it adds a mysterious and human-like quality to the sound. That’s what the author was trying to accomplish; a mysterious feeling. Connell effectively used personification because when reading that, it made the sea breaking on the shore seem alive

Personification is used to show what nonhuman objects or things are doing. Connell uses it to tell his readers what a boat’s wake is really representing. He writes, “...the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face” (Connell 19). He wanted to portray that Rainsford was not able to speak or shout at the boat to get anyone's attention.

Imagery is used by many writers and this is when the writer uses visually descriptive or figurative language.

However, a poem could be written without personification and still be great. In this poem the speaker states, “season when the young buttercups and daisies climb up on the mulched bodies of their forebears to wave their flags in the parade” (1096). This stanza is personification because it talks about the buttercups and daisies climbing up. This line of the poem also reminds the reader of soldiers marching in a parade.

Question 2 Two lines that are examples of personification in the poem potsu-potsu by Lily Roland are ‘heralding the dashing downpour’ and the groaning bridge struggles to stand tall and strong’. This is used in the first line where it says heralding and dashing as rain dose not dash and thunder dose not herald. In the second line it can be seen when it says groaning bridge as a bridge dose not groan. The use of personification

Beah effectively uses imagery by the usage of similes. A simile is a comparison of two contradictory terms using words "like" or "as." Imagery

Another use of imagery is when the author used imagery to describe how the crowd was. It said,” Smagler gunned a long shot that swished through the net from outside the three-point line. Suddenly the lead was cut in half. The Suns all shouted, but they lost concentration just a second too long.” This made me paint of picture of how they made the shot and started screaming and shouting and let the Lakers go back down and score

1) Personification. "The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said, 'I weep for Narcissus.'" (Coelho page #2) This is personification because it compares a lake, an object, to a grieving human. This is showcased by the lake's ability to both weep and speak.

C.S. Lewis, who is the author of  “Out of the Silent Planet”, is a man who was well educated in his religious faith of Christianity. A common theme in his works is based on his support for the Christian world of religion and teaching. C.S. was known for his writings of fiction as seen through the work of “Out of the Silent Planet” when the solar system of planets are renamed as something else and a man journeys through many unknown species and areas of land. The main character, Dr. Elwin Ransom, who is a teacher, plans an expedition to live with the people of Mars. He is captured and taken by these two men named, Devine and Weston onto a

One excellent example is, “Imagine that I’m a professor, you walk down, come though the doorway, sit down at a table…” (Gladwell, Primed for Action). Gladwell describes a character moving through a simple situation. Although this example may seem a bit vague, it provides an image within the reader’s mind of what that particular situation may look like. As Americans, we do this quite frequently, when we think of a certain event or social gathering we are planning on attending or even being forced to attend, we draw up and image within our minds. Sometimes said image may be a good image, with everything occurring exactly as you have thought those events would happen. Sadly, many times within our minds, not everything is pictured in a positive way. We may think of a social event where we may be shunned by everyone else attending the event because of one bad comment we spoke, or our taste in music or other entertainment. Another example of imagery within the book is the quote, “Predicting Divorce, like tracking Morse code operators, is pattern recognition.” (Gladwell, the Secrets of the Bedroom). This example, once again, gives us an image of this certain situation with the use of “Morse code operators” to provide some sort of image for our minds to

C.S. Lewis produced a book that conveys vivid scenery, relatable characters, and a vague but detailed plot that gave rise to a novel with wonderful clarity. Out of the Silent Planet is an account of the voyage of Ransom, a linguist, who is kidnapped and taken to another planet, Malacandra (Mars). Where he learns that Thulcandra (Earth) is called the silent planet because there has been no communication from it in years. On the voyage there he is led to believe he will be sacrificed. Instead, the creatures that inhabit the other world reveal extraordinary secrets about the nature of man and the universe to him. Ransom is ultimately sent back to Thulcandra with the two earthlings who had

I really love this book for several reasons. He then needs to find a way to survive almost 4 years on Mars with little to no supplies to survive with.

Imagery is any piece of language that provokes the readers mind to form a mental picture or image.
