How to Talk to a Hunter

She uses word choice such as “screaming around the track side by side…”(145). She uses imagery and synesthesia to allow the reader to use sight and hearing to understand. Hillenbrand also used imagery to tell the reader about Seabiscuit's big victory and the pride his team carried(324). The reader also gets the chance to imagine “Red Pollard watch the sky darken” whilst in the hospital. Hillenbrand's use of imagery allows the reader to become part of the story rather than just reading it.

"He had…split purple lips, lumped ears, welts above his yellow eyes, and one long scar that cut across his temple and plowed through a thick canopy of kinky hair…" Imagery is very effectively used by Knight in order to illustrate Hard Rock and incidents in the poem. Phrases such as "bored a hole in his head," "handcuffed and chained," "the jewel of a myth," and "barked in his face," paint vivid images in the readers mind. Knight's use of imagery keeps the reader interested in the poem while slowly drawing the reader into the story (emotionally). This element ultimately proves to be very useful to convey the motif of the poem.

The author’s use of conflict is illustrated by the narrator’s battling with herself as to whether she should contact him or not. The protagonist in this story is very confusing due to the fact that she is in trepidation as to if she would receive a phone call from him and if she should be the one contacting him. Her lack of realizing she had false hope was hindered because of her focal point being centered on sweet names such as “darling”, which gave her a sense of assurance. Some men extol the use of admirable names to achieve supremacy over women, which then forces women to become more emotionally attached. Furthermore, she became very indecisive which lead to her conflicting habits throughout the story. “This is the last time I’ll look at the clock (Parker 3),” and “He might even hope that I would call him up (Parker 13).” These are distinct quotes which demonstrate the personal conflict of her calling him and her trying to convince herself that procrastination will lead to a phone call. Hereafter by her counting “five, ten, fifteen,

   A pattern of repeated words or phrases can have a significant impact in conveying a particular impression about a character or situation, or the theme of a story. In the story "The Storm," by Kate Chopin, and "The Chrysanthemums," by John Steinbeck, imagery is an integral element in the development of the characters and situation, as well as the development of theme.

Right near the beginning of the story, the instance of imagery is found. One example, an unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore (Connell 20), is a phenomenal use of imagery, as it creates a vivid image in the reader’s mind. Richard Connell does an adequate job of conjuring thoughts of a thick, wild, and scary jungle just beckoning for someone to come in. The river of glaring gold light that poured out (Connell 20) is a powerful use of imagery, as it uses descriptors such as glaring, gold, and poured. Connell almost makes it seem like the light materialized as it came out of the door, which makes it very interesting to read and picture. The author was very efficient in his use of imagery because the descriptors painted a very clear picture. Imagery is just the icing on the cake because it adds so much quality and description to the

Being a man isn’t always easy, for most of their life they are taught to show no affection and to be tough in almost every situation. The tragedy of machismo is that a man is never quite man enough. “Hunters in the Snow”, by Tobias Wolff, three hunting buddies, Frank, Tub and Kenny, set out on a hunting trip together as they have done for years. Tub, who is over-weight, self-conscious and a good friend, shows some of his weaknesses, strengths and hardships that are sometimes placed on men in different situations.

Imagery allows the reader to hear and connect to the story by using onomatopoeia and see what is happening in the poem.

When Chris Crutcher decides to use imagery it is often very detailed. He takes the time to describe what these characters are seeing and feeling. Chris wants to make sure that the readers can see every situation, feel the weight of every decision, and feel the pain of the characters. Imagery is a very helpful tool to help Chris’ ideas really jump off the page and into your head. Some of these scenes of imagery include a little girl scrubbing off her skin using a brillo pad, and a character's father

Imagery is an importand part of and writing piece, as it gives the essay or story deeper meaning and its easier for readers to imagine and connect with the writing. Four examples of imagery in Death of a Pig are both visual and auditory imagery. Firstly, we have an example of visual imagery. “A faded building that was once an icehouse. There is a plesant yard to move around in shaded by an apple tree that overhangs a low rail fence.” With this desription being so early in the story we are able to see and visualize the farm throghout the rest of the story. Next we have auditory imagery. “The screams, slightly muffled by oil, were pitched in the hystarically high range of pig-sound”, you can hear the pig squeeling as they are adminsering oil

As evident by the title of this poem, imagery is a strong technique used in this poem as the author describes with great detail his journey through a sawmill town. This technique is used most in the following phrases: “...down a tilting road, into a distant valley.” And “The sawmill towns, bare hamlets built of boards with perhaps a store”. This has the effect of creating an image in the reader’s mind and making the poem even more real.

The author uses imagery to interest the reader in her story that may seem mundane without the imagery. An example of this happening is when Jeannette is going to her new school in Welch it was her first day and the teacher picks on her because she did not have to give the school her records to her not having them as that is happening a tall girl stabs her out of nowhere“I felt something sharp and painful between my shoulder blades and turned around. The tall black girl with the almond eyes was sitting at the desk behind me.

The way the narrator uses an abundance of imagery throughout this story, imagery is heavy when the narrator

. . the trees I’d been near were pine needles for instance, were pine trees, tall and straight with branches and needles mostly at the top … she had worn a long dark dress that covered her from neck to feet.” (Butler 15). This was a great place to put such imagery because it describes the setting and what women wore. Although she was at the riverbank and she was bound to get mud on her she still wore that dress; Butler describes the scene making it sound old and because of her good imagery she is able to make the reader feel like they are there and experiencing it. Butler also created a character with a gun she described the gun with, “I turned, startled, and found myself looking down the barrel of the longest rifle I had ever seen. I heard a metallic click” (Butler 14). Butler shows the rule, use good imagery, when she describes the gun when I read it I felt like I was there I read quickly but it felt like it lasted a bit longer because it makes your heart beat faster because she described it and you felt like you were so close to

We had her for dinner. She was tough, and tasty. I felt sad, but not cruel or inhumane. I had no ritual to perform before I took her life, nor one to perform afterwards. I did not know how these things were done. I did not know what it meant to be a hunter.

The wife of the story was really upset about her husband not returning, but she was caring to the hunters and gave them what they needed.
