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

The imagery shows that they had hope in their eyes, which helps create emotion that the reader feels about the character.

Some of these scenes of imagery include a little girl scrubbing off her skin using a brillo pad, and a character's father

All the imagery associated with Mattie and Zeena have been carefully placed by Mrs. Wharton in order to add depth to the story. Mrs. Wharton however does not use it in abundance. The references cited below are most examples of imagery in the entire novel. Mrs. Wharton is very austere with description.

Both of these pieces of writing use similar

In the short story “the Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and the short story “blue + yellow” by Chris Killen compare in many ways. These two stories use the same literary device strongly such as imagery. Imagery is a literary device in which the author uses words and phrases to paint a picture in the readers head throughout the story.

We often rely on imagery, a literary device that uses vivid descriptions and appeals to the senses, in our storytelling to point out the important facts in our stories. It helps our audience picture the scene and understand the severity of the situation. In my opinion, a well-written scene can be incredibly meaningful and thought-provoking with the help of imagery, sometimes even more so than a photograph. In literature, this is no different. Authors will describe characters and events in great detail when they feel it is important to the story. They will use imagery to point out character traits, themes, symbols, and motifs. A good author paints you a picture so you can imagine the places, colors, expressions, textures, with all the fine details.

The tall black girl with the almond eyes was sitting at the desk behind me.

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”.
