Okay, lesson 2 is about imagery and its types.
What is imagery? It is defined as a writer or speaker’s use of words or figures of speech to create a vivid mental picture or physical sensation.
Many good examples of imagery and figurative language can be found in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” a sermon delivered by the Puritan minister Jonathan Edwards.
Let’s take a look at this example in which Edwards creates a powerful image when he says: (read)
The image Edwards creates here is the vivid mental picture of someone crushing a worm.
Edwards is also using figurative language because he compares the ease with which God can “cast his enemies down to hell” with the ease of our crushing a worm beneath our feet.
The point he is making is that human beings are as small and powerless in the eyes of God as worms are to us;
just as a worm is at our mercies for its existence, so we are at God’s for our existence.
The most important reason to analyze a writer’s usage of imagery and figurative is to recognize how it contributes to the point he is trying to make or the effect he is attempting to create.
Although the word “imagery” most often brings to mind mental images, imagery is not always visual; it can appeal to any of the five senses. Here is a list of some types of imagery that appeal to different senses: We have…
Example: Silence was broken by the peal of piano keys as Shannon began practicing her concerto.
Here, the auditory imagery is breaks silence with the beautiful sound of piano. We use our ears in hearing the beautiful sound of piano.
The next type of imagery is gustatory. Thanks to an in-depth description of the candy’s various flavors, What are those flavors? (flash) Because of these the reader can almost experience the deliciousness directly.
The scent of hibiscus helps describe a scene which is relaxing, warm, and welcoming.
In this example, imagery is used to describe the feeling of strained muscles, grass’s tickle, and sweat cooling on skin.
Let’s take a look at these examples. Let us see the difference of the sentences with imagery and without imagery.
Next example. (read) Can you see now the importance of imagery? Imagine reading a text with just typical wordings. Wouldn’t it be boring? But if you add imagery to your writings, your readers’ imagination will be tickled and without a doubt they will surely love your masterpiece.
