Imagery is when an
author uses an object that is
not really there, in order to
create a comparison between
one that is, usually evoking a
more meaningful visual
experience for the 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, ori
entation) and emotion.
Examples:


“An Hourglass”


“A marvelous crafted
hourglass”


Even when we’re talking
about the same object the
mental image of the
hourglass changes.
In order to catch reader’s attention the
author uses figurative language such as:


 Metaphor
 Hyperbole
 Paradox
 Simile
 Onomatopoeia
 Personification
Metaphor


  A figure of speech in which a term or phrase is
applied to something to which it is not literally
applicable in order to suggest a resemblance.


Example: She was such a mule we couldn’t get
her to change her mind
Hyperbole


  A figure of speech which uses an extravagant or
exaggerated statement to express strong feelings.


Example: I called you ten thousand times!
Paradox

 A statement or proposition which is self-
contradictory, unreasonable, or illogical.

Example: This statement is a lie.
Simile

   A figure of speech in which one thing is
explicitly compared to another, as in “she is
like a rose.”

  Example: Suzie is as quiet as a mouse
and as tall as a giraffe
Onomatopoeia

  The formation of a word, as cuckoo or
boom, by imitation of a sound made by or
associated with its referent.

 Example: “Bark! Bark!” went the dog as he
chased the car that vroomed past.
Personification

  The attribution of a personal nature or
character to inanimate objects or abstract
notions, especially as a rhetorical figure.

  Example: The sun opened its sleepy eyes
and smiled down on the Earth as a new day
began.
