Imagery is the use of descriptive details that appeal to the five senses. Images appealing to the senses of sight,
hearing, smell, taste, and touch add layers of color and life to a literary text. They create in the reader’s mind
pictures that stimulate the imagination and that make what the reader is reading feel immediate, real, and
tangible.
*Visual- appealing to the sense of sight *Tactile – appealing to the sense of touch
EXAMPLE: dark rain clouds EXAMPLE: rough-edged rocks

*Auditory- appealing to the sense of hearing

Where Is the Rain?

Author Unknown

The giraffe and the elephant went for a walk.

They stopped in some shade and started to talk;
“I wish it would rain,: said the giraffe with a sigh.
“I’m tired of watching the clouds pass us by!”
“Yes,” said the elephant, “ Where is the rain?”
I wish I could eat fresh green leaves again.
The sun is so hot and the land is so dry;
When will the rain fall from the sky?
Later in the day the sky turned grey,
The flying ants flew out to say,
“The rain is coming! We smell it in the air!
And in the distance, thunder we hear!”
The giraffe and the elephant looked up to the sky,
And heard the black eagle give forth his cry,
“The rain has come, The rivers will flow;
The dry season is over; now the green grass will grow!”

1 Corinthians 14 : 33
“ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

Enabling Outcomes: (MELC)

expression is a group of words where the meanings of the words do not make sense literally. To figure out the
meaning of an idiomatic expression, note the context where the idiomatic expression appears. Context clues are
words or phrases surrounding a word, or in this case, the idiomatic expression, so that you can understand the
meaning.
Example1. My phone broke down again. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise. I have been wasting my time in
social media applications anyway.
Explanation 1. The expression a blessing in disguise means that something unfortunate could turn into
something fortunate.
