Imagery is the how the describe the story to you to help you understand what is going on better. Tan uses imagery to give the reader a more accurate description so maybe the reader can get the same feelings as the guests or the young

In the excerpt of the book "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr, the author uses the literary element of imagery in order to strengthen the main idea that blind people view the world in a different and unique way. This view is one that people with sight cannot understand nor picture. Doerr implements this element when describing how a blind person views the world. When describing how they view color and objects it sets an image in the readers mind to give them the ability to relate and to better understand the blind character. By understanding a sliver of how a blind person views the world the readers form a vision of their own. The Author uses imagery when describing how the character identifies certain objects and distinguishes one object from another.

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

In the short story called “Desiree’s Baby” written by Kate Chopin, the author used many different literary elements to describe and build up many characters. But two of the one that stands out the most was the foreshadowing and symbolism. These elements helped to build up Desiree Valmonde, one of the main character in the short story.

In the novel “Night”, author, Elie Wiesel uses imagery to share his experiences as a jew during the holocaust. Wiesel’s use of imagery helps demonstrate the tone and purpose of the entire novel. Elie Wiesel’s journey starts off  subtle but in the end leaves the reader heartbroken.    Throughout the story, Wiesel describes his tragic memories during the nazi concentration camps, which establishes a dark and somber tone. His descriptions and use of imagery creates the tone and purpose of “Night”.

She uses imagery when talking about when she used to Elijah’s empty chair at the table and how she would wish to be gone wherever he was than being at home. The imagery shown in this quote connects to the theme by showing that there was no type of love nor affection shown to Ruth by her father he only wanted what he wanted and didn’t care about how others felt even if it tormented them. The author uses imagery again to prove the theme by saying, “When we’d get back to the beach, Mameh would ask, “Are you getting better at swimming?” and I’d say, “Yes, Mameh, “ and he’d be standing there glaring at me. God, I was scared of him. (42)” This presents how controlling tateh was by using imagery the author shows how he was standing near glaring at Ruth, this allows for the readers to imagine Ruth’s father just standing there after what he just did and for us to see how scary it must have been for her. The imagery used helps prove the theme by showing how Tateh would do anything for his own self greed even when it hurt his own daughter Ruth, he didn’t really care about his kids at all along as he got what he wanted, that’s all that mattered to him.

There is only one example of imagery in the dialogue, but it is significant in understanding Richard’s frame of mind. The imagery presented in the passage is exemplified through the personification of Richard’s conscience: “My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, / And every tongue brings in a several tale, / And every tale condemns me for a villain” (5.3.194-6). The characterization of his conscience is the only thing that allows Richard to understand his place and role in the play. Despite the criticism from the other characters, Richard had previously believed that none of his actions were too severe or out of line provided they led to his seizure of the throne. Now that each tale of his conscience’s tongues condemns him, he realizes the error of his

Another example of imagery in the story is when the author used it to describe Emily when she ask for poison to the druggist.“still a slight woman, though thinner than usual, with cold, haughty black eyes in a face the flesh of which was strained across the temples and about the eyes ockets as you imagine a lighthouse-keepers face ought to look”. The author makes emphasis in Emily’s face and eyes meaning that she is lost in her own world and foreshadows that Emily would use the poison for something wrong.

Without imagery, the point of view would be quite bland. The use of descriptive language helps the reader fully engulf the narrator’s surroundings and feelings. Together with the hunter, “A week before Christmas you’ll rent It’s a Wonderful Life and watch it together, curled on your

Imagery is a portrait that is painted in your mind, a portrait that makes you feel you are there. The Holocaust is full of disturbing and horrible images of death. Pictures of inhumanity that just make you sick looking at them. In many images you see the pale, unemotional faces whose lives were changed for eternity, and yet with these images some believe that the Holocaust did not happen. In the Holocaust there was mass genocide of over six million Jews. Also many ethnic Poles, gypsies, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, disabled people, homosexual men, and political and religious opponents were targeted by the Nazis to be exterminated. Hitler’s ultimate goal during the Holocaust was to

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.

"Thy love is such I can no way repay,..." is another example of imagery (9). Symbolizing how great her love is for her husband, she is expresses there is no way to purchase or pay for true love.

The author wrote “Rainsford held his breath. The general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. But the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where Rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face. Very deliberately he blew a smoke ring into the air; then he turned his back on the tree and walked carelessly away, back along the trail he had come. The swish of the underbrush against his hunting boots grew fainter and fainter.” (Connell p.12) This whole paragraph uses imagery because it helps me visualize the intensity of the situation. It helped me imagine where Rainsford was lying down and how Zaroff gave Rainsford another chance when his sharp eyes were travelling up the tree and stopped right where Rainsford limb

In the novel Now is Everything, written by Amy Giles, imagery is a key component of Giles’ message to the reader. Giles’ use of imagery guides the reader to thoroughly envision and apprehend the main character, Hadley, and what she endures throughout the novel.

Queen Elizabeth uses imagery profusely in her poem. In line 6, the “rain of late repent” sets a gloomy atmosphere for the poem. Elizabeth is pointing out the tears that her enemies will weep when they realize that it is impossible to construct a plan to take away her place on the throne. However, it is already too late to fix their mistakes and they will have to live with the guilt and consequences of their senseless actions. The phrase, “dazzled eyes with pride” (line 9) portrays Elizabeth’s enemies as imprudent and pretentious opponents, whose outlook on their plans are flawed. She jeers that because her foes’ “great ambition” (line 9) obstructs their ultimate goal, they will never reach that goal. They will soon learn that when their plans are soon uncovered by her people. The Queen also uses imagery in the line, “to poll their tops” (line 16). Here, she firmly states that she will defeat any enemies that attempt to take control of her
