Summary In The Turn Of The Screw By Henry James

   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.

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

3. Imagery- descriptive language used to make the audience think of a picture in their mind; words to help visualize.

List at least three examples of imagery in the text that add to the overall tone. Explain how each description contributes to the emotional power of the piece.

Imagery is defined in The Oxford Dictionary as visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work. Imagery is one of the many examples of rhetorical devices used in literature to express the author’s ideas. In Dan Egan’s book, The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, Egan puts emphasis on the details to provide the readers with a clear vision to Egan’s ideas. In the beginning Egan talks about the seaway construction by stating, “Construction crews from boths side of the border tore into the river channel with so much violence and with such heavy earth-moving machinery” (Egan 22) Egan use of imagery allows for readers to understand what is going on through a mental picture.

Imagery is the use of descriptive language to draw attention to characters, scenes, and items. Imagery can be anything from describing how a character looks to describing how something sounds. In Whale Talk a prime example of imagery is when Carly says “‘That night I got a bottle opener from the kitchen and a ball peen hammer and redecorated his brand-new Lexus; smashed all the glass and ran the beer opener down each side, fender to fender’” (Crutcher 74). Another example of imagery in Whale Talk is “He

Imagery is figurative language that describes senses to the reader so the reader can easily imagine the scenes and action in a literary work. A piece of writing could describe a specific smell, for example, to help the reader capture the moment in their mind. Imagery affects the tone of the poem because certain images could trigger the reader's emotion and attitude towards the writing. For example, in "President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863" by Frances E. W. Harper, it says in description "Soon the mists and turkey shadows shall be fringed with crimson light," which makes the reader feel warm and hopeful that things will get better.

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

Imagery is a strong element that helps portray a lot of internal feelings for the audience to fathom with, thus creating an experience that the audience can enjoy. Imagery is the language represented by sense experience and a literary device that helps create a mental picture for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to say to the audience (Johnson, Arp 779). The following is the poem by Langston Hughes: “The calm,/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss.” (Hughes 1-3) When examining the poem, “Suicide’s Note”, it is full of imagery with only three lines present. The

Throughout The turn of the Screw by Henry James, the theme of ambiguous issues is constantly leaving the reader on their own. The ambiguity and uncertainty within this text causes the readers to come up with their own theories as to what the text really means. The ghost story perspective only adds to the infuriating vagueness. The title itself is about all of the twists within this story and basically foreshadows the confusion that the text will cause.

An example of imagery is seen in lines 10-13 discussing the wealthy man, “the man / in a hip three-piece linen suit / with shoulder-length blond hair and sunglasses,” as well as in lines 20-24 discussing the older garbage

Another example of Imagery within Boyden’s short story is when he says “...the streetlights above me in this absurdly quiet residential neighborhood seemed so white, like a row of

This passage is an extract from chapter 13 of The Turn of the Screw (1898) by Henry James, in which the female protagonist recalls her experiences as a child-minder and educator. In this commentary, I will be focusing on the way the protagonist seeks to construct her importance through the children, her narration and her sense of audience. The extract starts with the implied authors, the Governess’s, insisting that “speaking to them proved quite as much as ever an effort beyond my strength” (ll.1-2). This connotes a limit that the protagonist has, and does not want to cross said limit as she fears she doesn’t have the “strength” needed to overcome it. The fact the she knows she has a limit suggests that past experience might have led her

Imagery: A word or group of words that appeal to one or more of the senses. In the final scene of the published version of Charles Dicken’s novel, Great Expectations, the text’s emotional imagery connects to the larger theme of the novel that people grow from being insensitive children to become sophisticated adults. The moving tone is amplified by the comparison of Estella during her first meeting of Pip to their last. During their second encounter, Estella is quick to prove her meanness and slap Pip “with such force as she had” (63). Estella’s emotional growth, however, is shown when they meet in the future and Estella touches Pips arm as “the friendly touch of the once insensible hand” (379) before they walked off together. These images shows Estella shedding the skin of her younger self’s personality, and, connecting to the novel's main theme, her maturation evolution.
