One of the strongest literary images I experienced was while reading from Of Wolves and Men by Barry Holston Lopez.While reading the story Barry Holston Lopez was describing what the wolf looked like, he said:"The wolf weighs ninety-four pounds and stands thirty inches at the shoulder.

One of the reasons this was so memorable was because for me it was so easy to imagine what the wolf looked like due to of how well Barry Holston Lopez explained it in such detail. This really contributed to the main idea of the text because it helped you experience the story so much

He [is] [giving] an impression of kindness” (47), Elie said. The reader can see a big stocky man with curly hair approaching all of the Jews.

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel there are many instances where his use of imagery helps establish tone and purpose. For example Elie Wiesel used fire (sight) to represent just that. The fire helps prove that the tone is serious and mature. In no way did Wiesel try to lighten up the story about the concentration camps or the Nazis. His use of fire also helps show his purpose. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times scaled. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw

In the incredible book, All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque, the reader follows Paul Baumer, a young man who enlisted in the war. The reader goes on a journey and watches Paul and his comrades face the sheer brutality of war. In this novel, the author tries to convey the fact that war should not be glorified.
