Imagery

First Name: Erin White Period: 3 School: Wootton High School

Definition #1: in a literary text, is the use of details and descriptors, such as adjectives and nouns, used to create a mental or sensational image in the mind of a reader. The elements in a literary work used to evoke mental images, not only of the visual sense, but also of sensation (touch, taste, smell, sound, orientation) and emotion. Source: []

Definition #2: Special use of language in a way that evokes sense impressions (usually visual). Many poetic images function as mental pictures that give shape and appeal to something otherwise vague and abstract; for example, ‘yonder before us lie/Deserts of vast Eternity’. **Simile** and **metaphor** are two types of imagery.

Definition in your own "student friendly" words: Words used in a text to create emotions in the reader that the speaker/writer may feel about a certain topic.

Link to example #1 (text, advertisement, video, speech, etc): I took a walk [|around the world] to Ease my troubled mind I left my [|body laying] somewhere In the [|sands of time] I watched the world float to the [|dark] [|Side of the moon] I feel there is nothing I can do

2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: In this song lyric the reader gets a sense that this person it is talking about may have issues with his family, friends etc and runs away to "easy [his/her's] troubled mind." But along the way he/she got lost at an unknown place at an unknown time and he can't come back anymore.

Link to example #2 (text, advertisement, video, speech, etc): "Though I was on the sheer face of a mountain, the feeling of swinging through the air was euphoric, almost like flying without wings." 2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: When a writer wrote this quote it gave me a picture of a climber halfway up Mount Everest looking back down realizing how high he/she is and the significance of what he/she is doing. The fact that this sentence is able to evoke a picture in my mind that the writer intended to make, makes it a good example of imagery.

Definition in your own "student friendly" words:

Link to example #1 (text, advertisement, video, speech, etc): The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps.

This is an excerpt form “Preludes” by T. S. Eliot.

2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: Upon reading this excerpt the reader can create an image of the winter calming down and the fresh smell of steak on the fire outside. While outside you hear the crackling sound of one stepping on the leaves and you see the hot gray smoke come out of the chimney.

Link to example #2 (text, advertisement, video, speech, etc): A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

This is an excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth.

2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: When the reader reads this excerpt he/she can create an image of a swarm of daffodils near a lake and beneath a tree "dancing in the breeze." The reader can visualize that any person watching this can feel the essence of the daffodils, practically their "bliss of solitude." And then the reader all of a sudden gets a warm feeling in his/her heart and he/her also starts dancing with the daffodils.
