Language Feature III

IMAGERY

- What is it?
Imagery means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.

- What is its effect/ why is it used?
Imagery makes use of particular words that create a visual representation of ideas in our minds. 

- Find two well-known examples

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep … “ - Robert Frost


“Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft,
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.” - John Keats

- Write an example of your own
The gusts of cold wind pierced her body.
