c. Discussion:
The Importance of Imagery:
Because we experience life through our senses, a
strong composition should appeal to them .
through the use of imagery. Descriptive imagery
launches the reader into the experience of a
warm spring day, scorching hot summer, crisp
fall, or harsh winter. It allows readers to directly
sympathize with characters and narrators as they
imagine having the same sense experiences.
Imagery commonly helps build compelling
poetry, convincing narratives, vivid plays, well-
designed film sets, and descriptive songs.

Imagery in Literature:

Excerpt describing a fish:

his brown skin hung in strips

like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.

Another example:
A taste for the miniature was one aspect of an
orderly spirit. Another was a passion for secrets:
in a prized varnished cabinet, a secret drawer
was opened by pushing against the grain of a
cleverly turned dovetail joint, and here she kept a
diary locked by a clasp, and a notebook written in
a code of her own invention. … An old tin petty
cash box was hidden under a removable
floorboard beneath her bed.

In this excerpt from Ian McEwan’s novel

Atonement, we can almost feel the cabinet and
its varnished texture or the joint that is
specifically in a dovetail shape. We can also
imagine the clasp detailing on the diary and the
tin cash box that’s hidden under a floorboard.
Various items are described in-depth, so much so
that the reader can easily visualize them.

Metaphor
Metaphor is often used as a type of imagery.
Specifically, metaphor is the direct comparison of
two distinct things. Here are a few examples of
metaphor as imagery:

 Her smiling face is the sun.

 His temper was a hurricane whipping
through the school, scaring and amazing
his classmates.
 We were penguins standing in our black
and white coats in the bitter cold.
Onomatopoeia
 Onomatopoeia is also a common tool used for
imagery. Onomatopoeia is a form of auditory
imagery in which the word used sounds like the
thing it describes. Here are a few examples of
onomatopoeia as imagery:

 The fire crackled and popped.

 She rudely slurped and gulped down her
soup.
 The pigs happily oinked when the farmer
gave them their slop to eat.
Personification
Personification is another tool used for imagery.
Personification provides animals and objects with
human-like characteristics. Here are a few
examples of personification as imagery:

 The wind whistled and hissed through

the stormy night.
 The tired tree’s branches moaned in the
gusts of wind.
 The ocean waves slapped the shore and
whispered in a fizz as they withdrew
again.
