Tom Sawyer Imagery
Imagery is the key aspect of Tom Sawyer. This book was written by Mark Twain and was published
in April 2010. This essay is focused on what the literary device of imagery does for this book. The
imagery Mark Twain used creates a mental visual of the story, causes the reader to be more
absorbed in the book, and brings the story to life.
A mental visual of the story is created through Mark Twain's added imagery. The sentence, "The
balmy summer air, the restful quiet, the odor of the flowers, and the drowsing murmur of the bees
had their effect...," is a good example of imagery. It paints a picture of a typical summer afternoon
we all have experienced. "All nature was wide awake and stirring, now; long lances of sunlight
pierced down through the dense foliage far and near, and a few butterflies came fluttering upon the
scene," also shows a great sense of imagery and a detailed description of the setting here. It also
allows the reader to "see" what is being written. "He entered a dense wood, picked a pathless way to
the center of it, and sat down on a mossy spot under a spreading oak... the noonday heat had even
stilled the songs of the birds," This is a last example of great imagery. It gives time, place, and
"sound". Because imagery is in this story, it leads the reader to be more apt to read the book....show

Because of all the imagery, the mind of the reader is taking all the information and formulating a
type of "movie". When the brain continuously rolls through different scenes, the reader is more
likely to continue reading because he/she is in a mental fantasy. It is like a virtual reality playing
half subconsciously in one's mind. This mental virtual reality causes the story to seem

Imagery In Grendel
We often rely on imagery, a literary device that uses vivid descriptions and appeals to the senses, in
our storytelling to point out the important facts in our stories. It helps our audience picture the scene
and understand the severity of the situation. In my opinion, a well–written scene can be incredibly
meaningful and thought–provoking with the help of imagery, sometimes even more so than a
photograph. In literature, this is no different. Authors will describe characters and events in great
detail when they feel it is important to the story. They will use imagery to point out character traits,
themes, symbols, and motifs. A good author paints you a picture so you can imagine the places,
colors, expressions, textures, with all the fine details....show more content...
The three animals of the novel come to epitomize Grendel's understanding of nature as indifferent
and mechanical. At the beginning of the novel, the ram irritates Grendel because of the way it
mindlessly follows its instincts and mechanical urges. Then comes the bull who can do no real harm
to Grendel, since he can easily dodge its horns, but the bull repeatedly charges at Grendel without
altering its approach at all. Grendel finds the bull's stupidity and inability to think amusing, laughing
scornfully at the animal. Yet, several times in the novel he berates himself for being "as mechanical
as anything else." We see his extreme frustration at this state expressed in his encounter with the
goat, which most vividly and grotesquely represents the plight of the machine. These types of
imagery represent part of the character that is Grendel. Unlike the ram, which frustrates Grendel, and
the bull, which amuses him, the goat haunts him with its mindless persistence that drove him to the

Imagine this. Sand pelts at your suit and the glass dome that surrounds your head. Wind whips
violently all around, and the air is stale. You crack your eyes open to a dry, barren–land with a chill
running down your spine, and only one knowledge comes to mind. You are alone. This is how it
would feel to step into Mark Watney's shoes. Told in a comical and thrilling sciencefiction novel,

The one's that appear the most throughout the book though are pure imagery and irony. Irony
plays a big part in the overall lesson because that's one of the main ways that Mark expresses
himself, and reacts to his current situation. Plus, let's be real, Mark does needs some humor while
stranded on Mars. For example, Mark states, "But this'll be true proof. I'll call it the 'plugs out
test.' Maybe that's not the best name." Another literary device used that is very apparent consists
of imagery. Imagery really has helped me paint the picture in my mind of what happened,
especially since I haven't been to Mars, I mean, I don't know about you though. The author's craft
of imagery in this book really made me have a picture in my mind of what it would be like. From
the chill of Mars, to the battle it gives, to the emptiness Mars gives. It continued tumbling down
the hill, bouncing the traveler around like clothes in a dryer. After twenty meters, the soft powder
gave way to more solid sand and the rover shuddered to a halt. In general, all of the literary devices
used throughout this book really tie into the hard struggle that Mark faces, but yet the optimism and
humor that are described throughout the events that really makes Mark a persevering character.
The author's use of literary devices really paints a picture in my head of what it would be like to

Essay on The Imagery of Othello
The Imagery of Othello Talks
In the tragedy Othello the Bard of Avon uses imagery to talk between the lines, to set moods, to
create a more dramatic impact on the mind of the audience, and for other reasons. Let's consider
imagery in this essay.
A surprising, zoo–like variety of animal injury occur throughout the play. Kenneth Muir, in the
Introduction to William Shakespeare: Othello, explains the conversion of Othello through his
increased use of animal imagery:
Those who have written on the imagery of the play have shown how the hold Iago has over Othello
is illustrated by the language Shakespeare puts into their mouths. Both characters use a great deal of
animal imagery, and it is interesting to note...show more content...
It is true that the play contains many references to "heaven and hell and devils." as Wilson Knight
has pointed out. But Mr. Knight has wisely refrained from drawing the conclusion that Shakespeare
means thus to comment upon Othello's ultimate fate. (66)
The vulgar imagery of the ancient dominate the opening of the play. Francis Ferguson in "Two
Worldviews Echo Each Other" describes the types of imagery used by the antagonist when he "slips
his mask aside" while awakening Brabantio:
Iago is letting loose the wicked passion inside him, as he does from time to time throughout the play,
when he slips his mask aside. At such moments he always resorts to this imagery of money–bags,
treachery, and animal lust and violence. So he expresses his own faithless, envious spirit, and, by
the same token, his vision of the populous city of Venice– Iago's "world," as it has been called. . .
.(132)
Standing outside the senator's home late at night, Iago uses imagery within a lie to arouse the
occupant: " Awake! what, ho, Brabantio! thieves! thieves! thieves! / Look to your house, your
daughter and your bags!" When the senator appears at the window, the ancient continues with
coarse imagery of animal lust: "Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is topping your white
ewe," and "you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse; you'll have your nephews neigh
to you; you'll have coursers for

Impact of Imagery Essay
Impact of Imagery The use of imagery in a short story has a great deal of effect on the impact of
the story. A story with effective imagery will give the reader a clear mental picture of what is
happening and enhance what the writer is trying to convey to the reader. William Faulkner exhibits
excellent imagery that portrays vivid illustrations in ones mind that enhances, "A Rose for Emily".
The following paragraphs will demonstrate how Faulkner uses imagery to illustrate descriptive
pictures of people, places and things that allow Faulkner to titillate the senses. "It was a big,
squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled

The first picture of Homer that would come to mind would probably be a rough and rugged
construction worker, with dark skin, somewhat like that of a roofer. This image is somewhat
connected with that of the image of Emily's father. Another way that Faulkner exhibits imagery, is
the odor, coming from Emily's house, that the neighbors are complaining about. When Judge
Stevens said that "it's probably just a snake or a rat that nigger of hers killed in the yard" (289),
right away, the smell of rotting flesh comes to mind. Creating a putrid, horrible smell in the
reader's mind. Odor is a very effective use of imagery when an author is trying to convey a
character's feelings of something in the story. The most detailed mental picture that Faulkner
describes in the story would be that of the room in the upstairs of Emily's house. "A thin, acrid
pall as of the tomb seemed to lie every where upon this room decked and furnished as for a bridal:
upon the valance curtains of faded rose color, upon the rose–shaded lights, upon the dressing table,
upon the delicate array of crystal and the man's toilet things backed with tarnished silver, silver so
tarnished that the monogram was obscured. Among them lay collar and tie, as if they had just been
removed, which, lifted, left upon the surface a pale crescent in the dust. Upon a chair hung the suit,

Essay on Imagery in Shakespeare's Macbeth
What is imagery? How does Shakespeare use imagery in Macbeth and his other plays? Imagery is
when the audience uses their five senses while reading to create an image of what is being read
in their head. Shakespeare uses imagery in the Tragedy of Macbeth and his other plays because it
helps to connect the reader or audience to the characters of the play. Imagery draws a reader in and
makes him experience or become a part of the character. When writing the play Macbeth,
Shakespeare created an atmosphere around the characters and the overall setting of the play, with
his use of massive amounts of imagery in Macbeth. Lightness and darkness are major examples of
Shakespeare's use of imagery in Macbeth. Often while Lady Macbeth is walking...show more

The witches have a twisted sense of humor when they tell Macbeth and Banquo of the destined
future, which is really the beginning of Macbeth's power hungry ascent.
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth hallucinate numerous times before and after Duncan's murder. The
hallucinations are driving Macbeth mad and Lady Macbeth coddles her husband so that she may use
him in her murderous plots. Macbeth exits Duncan's room with blood on his hands and daggers.
"Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still."
The blood represents how guilt he feels before the murder and obviously afterward. Macbeth
murdered his king's intoxicated guards after Duncan to make sure he was not accused and trying to
absolve himself of the guilt for the murders. "Will all great Neptune's ocean was this blood Clean
from my hand? No; this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green
one red."
Even when the blood is washed away with water, Macbeth is still heavily weighed down with
guilty; therefore the terrible guilt that weighs him down causes him to act rashly to cover up any
witnesses or evidence that pertains to him or Lady Macbeth. Macbeth murders Banquo because of
the witches' prophecy that Banquo shall beget kings however he will not be one. He hallucinates
that Banquo has reappeared at a dinner banquet held by Lady

How Does Edgar Allan Poe Use Imagery
When reading a novel I often get engaged by the amount of detail the author includes. I find
myself most interested when I can picture myself in the character's shoes and feel like i'm in the
novel myself. This kind of feeling is caused by imagery. Imagery is defined as the use of vivid
figurative language to represent objects, actions or ideas. Authors tend to use imagery to create a
"mental image" in the audience's head. This is often done with the use of your senses.
Incorporating details about touch,taste, or smell often gives the audience a specific idea of what
the author is trying to portray. Imagery is important in all literature but was especially prominent
during the romantic era. Edgar allan poe was a poet of the Romantic era who relied strongly on
imagery to portray his emotion. Poe had a difficult upbringing and...show more content...
Poe wrote this poem in 1829 at the age of twenty, however it did not get published until 1875 long
after his death. Poe begins this poem with the first stanza that reads "From childhood's hour I
have not been as others were; I have not seen as others saw; I could not bring my passions from a
common spring" In that first stanza Poe expresses that growing up he felt different from the others
kids. He conveys that the things that made the other kids happy were not the same things that
fulfilled his happiness. Poe explains that he never viewed life the same as other people and that
there was something special about him and the way he thinks. The line "And all I loved I loved
alone" reiterates that through the good and bad times he remained the same. This is justified with
the line "from the depth of good and ill". This signifies that his opinion was never changed by others

How Does Anne Sexton Use Imagery In Poetry
Imagery is an important aspect of poetry because imagery helps to bring life to the poems. As stated
by Anne Sexton, "images are the heart of poetry. You're not a poet without imagery." Imagery is a
strong tool to help authors portray different themes throughout the poem such as sadness, and
authors, such as Theodore Roethke, Robert Hayden, and Gwendolyn Brooks, use imagery in their
poems to show sadness. The use of imagery by these authors is what dictated them as being the best
during their time period. Theodore Roethke was an American Poetry writer born in Saginaw,
Michigan on May 25, 1908 to Otto Roethke and Helen Roethke (Dougherty). His profound love for

She starts off the poem in line one by capitalizing the word "Boy" (Brooks 1). I think this is to
give a name to the person, however, she did not know his name she is still trying to give some
recognition to him by capitalizing "Boy." Its like its symbolizing his name as if she were to know
it. Additionally, in the same stanza she states, "Apparently died Alone" (4). When the author
Brooks capitalized the word alone its like she wanted to emphasize that he was alone. One big
question is why is that? What was he alone from, or was he alone when he died? I think the real
question is that him being "Alone" is that during that time period was during the civil rights
movement, so all of the African Americans felt like they were "Alone" and did not have anyone to
help them. This would have especially been the case for the author because she grew up in
Chicago, Illinois. Additionally, Gwendolyn Brooks uses a great deal of imagery to portray
sadness in her poems. For example, in stanza eight she states, "He cried not only 'Father!' / but
'Mother! / Sister! / Brother. / The cry climbed up the alley. / It went up to the wind. / It hung upon
the heaven for a long / stretch–strain of Moment" (Brooks 31–39). In this stanza she feels the cry
that the love ones are making to there lost one. She uses imagery to show this pain through the
spirit climbing the alley and going into the wind. Furthermore, the author goes on to in stanza three
to state, "The Shot that killed him yes I heard / as I heard the Thousand shots before; / careening
tinnily down the nights / across my years and arteries" (Brooks 8–11). This is important the author
is saying that she has heard the "Thousand shots before" that where she lives hearing shots is
nothing out of the ordinarily life; that the shots are something they are accustom to hearing. This is

Imagery In Poetry
The use of imagery is to show a story rather tell the story. With details, the image will come alive
and translate to the reader's imagination. Using sensory details helps create a realistic experience.
Some types of imagery are visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, organic, and kinesthetic. The
function of imagery is to transform a story into a piece of art. It makes poetry easier to understand
because the reader is able to see what the poet is trying to demonstrate. ВЁOn Reading Poems to a

Essay about Imagery in Macbeth
Imagery in Macbeth
There are many forms of imagery in the world today. They usually take on two main forms, those
being visual and mental. Word means different thing to different people. The Websters
Dictionary defines it as, in rhetoric, representations in writing or speaking; lively descriptions which
impress the images of things on the mind; figures in discourse. This once again goes back to the
idea of mental imagery and the different ways people interpret things. In William Shakespeares
Macbeth.
Imagery is connected to both character development as well as theme and are patterned throughout
the play. From the beginning of the play we are introduced to image of darkness. It was called upon

wound it makes, N'or heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry, "Hold, hold!" (I, V, 53
–57)
By the end of Act I, we can see that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have sided with "Darkness".
By listening to the prompting of the witches they have given in to them and side with the forces of
evil.
But, Banquo, is still cautious about the idea of even and darkness. He shows us that the witches ae
only tell partial truths that look pretty at first, but, will hurt you in the end. This also brings to us to
the theme of evil and how it does the same thing. It comes across as being very tempting but, will
definitely bring you down in the end. Another strong image in the play is "blood". It is perhaps the
most powerful image of
Macbeth's character change. One such image is portrayed just before Macbeth visits the witches
for the second time. He says to his wife, Lady Macbeth that "For mine own good All causes shall
give away; I am in blood Stepp'd in so for, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as

slowly arising in the distance along with skeleton like figures approaching the cattle cars in

to life is when Elie and his convoy arrive at Buna, another camp. Elie and his convoy were being
sent to Buna from Auschwitz. When they arrived at the camp the reader and Elie can see an
almost deserted camp, except for a few wandering prisoners. Elie and the others were sent
immediately to the showers where the head of the camp meet up with them. "He [is] a stocky
man with big shoulders, the neck of a bull, thick lips, and curly hair. He [is] [giving] an
impression of kindness" (47), Elie said. The reader can see a big stocky man with curly hair
approaching all of the Jews. He has a slight smile on his face as he approaches the Jews who are
all waiting by the showers. Imagery is very strong in that passage. Next comes the time during the

Jung remarked: "When you concentrate on a mental picture it begins to stir, the image becomes
enriched by details. It moves and develops, and so when we concentrate on inner pictures and we
are careful not to interrupt the natural flow of events, our unconscious will produce a series of
images that makes a complete story." (Jung, 1979) Jung's explanation remains one of the simplest
and clearest descriptions of what guided imagery is and does. Jung further commented that this
active imagination process was superior to dreams in defeating the unconscious for a quickening of
maturation in analysis. In other words, imagery is superior to dreams in overcoming or defeating the
unconscious mind's resistance to allowing buried truth to come to conscious awareness. Bringing
this truth to the surface, where it can be acknowledged and properly dealt with, speeds up the
therapeutic growth in analysis. German analyst Hanscarl Leuner, MD, called his basic level of
imagery, "A superior short term therapy that closes the gap between symptom–centered procedures
and the great psychoanalytic cure." (Leuner, 1984)

In the poems, "A Simile" and "Moon Rondeau" the authors use symbolism. The authors use
symbolism that represent symbols in the different stages of a relationship. For example, in "A

example clearly shows the reader that the couple went through an awful conflict not knowing where
to go. Another example, is from the poem "Moon Rondeau" it communicated, "We own the moon."

symbolism to describe symbols that represent the two poems.

Keats's Ode to a Nightingale contains imagery that runs parallel to the actions of the author. Lines
seventeen through twenty are an example of decorative language used to explain the author's means
of disappearing into the forest. "With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, / And purple–stained
mouth; / That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, / And with thee fade away into the forest
dim." The story is affected by this flamboyant transition because it settles the reader into the
narrator's new point of reference. Being in the dark with only the nightingale's note at his ear
brings forth his feelings of death. The speaker starts to elaborately talk about his desire "to cease
upon the midnight with no pain... (54)". His lavish description of the bird fleeing also helps to
explain his refute towards his state of being.
The importance of books to experience the world could not be relayed without flattering language.
On First Looking into
Chapman's Home by Keats is an example of this language. It is understood that he is speaking
highly of traveling metaphorically through books because of the first line. The line states, "Much
have I travell'd in the realms of gold," which stands for the world of art.
Using gold as part of the description of literature, it helps to emphasis the importance of reading. He

In King Lear, which seems to have a tragic double plot, the images referring to the heart cue the
reader or audience to the confusion that is evident in the love between the parent and the child and
the breakdown of the social bonds in which the play begins. In the play Lear seems to forget the
love that he has always had for his favorite daughter, Cordelia, whose name itself in Latin means
heart. When Lear offered one–third of the kingdom to his daughter Cordelia she does not know what
to say and cannot explain her feelings when she says:
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
My heart into my mouth: I love your majesty
According to my bond; no more nor less.
(1.1.91–93)
In this we see that Cordelia cannot take the appreciative path that her sister's took in order to
make their father happy and confident to leave the kingdom to his daughters. The whole time all
Lear wanted was to be comfortable that the kingdom was going to be left in good hands. We see a
better use of the veracity of he word (heart) when Lear goes to visit Regan and she will not come
out to greet him.

"...In some inland post feel the savagery, the utter savagery, had closed round him––all that
mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the hearts of wild men.
There's no initiation either into such mysteries. He has to live in the midst of the incomprehensible,
which is detestable. And it has a fascination, too, which goes to work upon him. The fascination of
the abomination––you know. Imagine the growing regrets, the longing to escape, the powerless
disgust, the surrender, the hate"(Conrad 4).
In the story, Marlow saw what he thought to be civilized British settlers, but in reality, they were
savages willing to do whatever it takes to make a profit. That is why Conrad describes their mother
country as "one of the dark places of the Earth"(3). To sum up the harshness and cruelties of
imperialism, Conrad explains that, "The conquest of the Earth, which mostly means the taking it
away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a
pretty thing"(4).
Also, Conrad uses imagery to depict the journey up the Congo and through the darkness of the
African Safari. There are two reasons why he described, in extensive detail, Marlow's trip. The first
reason was to show the effects of wilderness on the human heart. Guerard, an acclaimed critic,
describes the significance of the actual journey.

Example Of Imagery In Sport
"Imagery is well established in the realm of athletics as athletes use the mental technique to practice
skills, to increase self–confidence, increase motivation, increase attentional control and lower
anxiety (Vealey & Greenleaf 2006) Imagery is widely used in sport to enhance performance,
through imagery you can recall previous situations whether they be positive or negative. They can
mentally prepare yourself for an event which uses a number of senses such as your kinaesthetic,
auditory (hearing), tactile and olfactory (smell) hear, physical sensations around you. It is the
visualization of oneself playing their sport or achieving a desired skill accurately and efficiently.
Each individual whether they play sport or not use imagery mostly to recall past experiences and try
to create them again as they happened for the very first time. Some athletes have great belief in
imagery and feel that it enhances their performance by motivating, improving...show more content...
However some athletes believe that imagery has no effect on enhancing their performance so when
a person receives an injury and is out for competition or inactive for a certain amount of time,
imagery is the last thing they want to use to recover as they cannot imagine recovering from such an
ordeal. I believe however that there is a huge effectiveness in using imagery as a tool in injury
rehabilitation. Imagery has been used in rehabilitation for such benefits in "the immune system
(Achterberg 1991; AuBuchon, 1991; Post–White 1991), physiological response such as increased
salivation (Barber, Chauncey & Winer 1964), increase in pupillary size (Simpson & Paivio 1966)
also there has been some positive effects of imagery in cancer treatments (Achterberg,

Essay on Imagery in Their Eyes Were Watching God
Positive Imagery in Their Eyes Were Watching God
In Zora Neale Hurston's novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, the life of Janie is presented as a
journey. Janie survives a grandmother, three husbands, and innumerable friends. Throughout this
journey, she moves towards her ideals about love and how to live one's life. Hurston chooses to
define Janie not by what is wrong in her life, but by what is good in it. Janie undergoes many
changes throughout her journey, but the imagery in her life always conjures positive ideas in the
mind of the reader.
Janie's life begins under the watchful eye of her grandmother. Her grandmother has given up her
own happiness to raise Janie and her mother. Right away, it is obvious that Janie's life...show more
content...
Janie learns a very important lesson from her grandmother. Not a lesson to emulate, but one to
avoid. She does not want to be a cracked plate, she is tall and blossoming and can see what she
wants in her life.
She does not get what she wants with Logan Killicks, her first husband. Janie married Logan
because her grandmother wanted her to. Her grandmother could not understand why she did not
love him, as he had sixty acres of land. Janie did not love him, and describes him as ". . . some ole
skullhead in de grave yard" [13] and his house as "a lonesome place like a stump in the middle of the
woods . . . absent of flavor" [20]. Janie's eyes are still full of pollen dust, and she cannot get her
perfect vision of love out of her mind. Logan makes her do menial chores around the house, and
treats her like a beast of burden. She prays for the day when she will be delivered from the life of
tedium that she lives.
She thinks that her prayers are answered when she first sees Joe Starks. In fact, she first sees him
through a veil of her hair, and it is her long, luxurious hair that he is first attracted to. She thinks
that he is "a bee for her blossom" [31]. The initial description of him, ". . . a cityfied, stylish
dressed man with his hat set at an angle that didn't belong in [those] parts" [26] immediately sets a
firm image in the reader's mind, so no one is

Essay On Imagery

  • 1. Tom Sawyer Imagery Imagery is the key aspect of Tom Sawyer. This book was written by Mark Twain and was published in April 2010. This essay is focused on what the literary device of imagery does for this book. The imagery Mark Twain used creates a mental visual of the story, causes the reader to be more absorbed in the book, and brings the story to life. A mental visual of the story is created through Mark Twain's added imagery. The sentence, "The balmy summer air, the restful quiet, the odor of the flowers, and the drowsing murmur of the bees had their effect...," is a good example of imagery. It paints a picture of a typical summer afternoon we all have experienced. "All nature was wide awake and stirring, now; long lances of sunlight pierced down through the dense foliage far and near, and a few butterflies came fluttering upon the scene," also shows a great sense of imagery and a detailed description of the setting here. It also allows the reader to "see" what is being written. "He entered a dense wood, picked a pathless way to the center of it, and sat down on a mossy spot under a spreading oak... the noonday heat had even stilled the songs of the birds," This is a last example of great imagery. It gives time, place, and "sound". Because imagery is in this story, it leads the reader to be more apt to read the book....show more content... Because of all the imagery, the mind of the reader is taking all the information and formulating a type of "movie". When the brain continuously rolls through different scenes, the reader is more likely to continue reading because he/she is in a mental fantasy. It is like a virtual reality playing half subconsciously in one's mind. This mental virtual reality causes the story to seem Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Imagery In Grendel We often rely on imagery, a literary device that uses vivid descriptions and appeals to the senses, in our storytelling to point out the important facts in our stories. It helps our audience picture the scene and understand the severity of the situation. In my opinion, a well–written scene can be incredibly meaningful and thought–provoking with the help of imagery, sometimes even more so than a photograph. In literature, this is no different. Authors will describe characters and events in great detail when they feel it is important to the story. They will use imagery to point out character traits, themes, symbols, and motifs. A good author paints you a picture so you can imagine the places, colors, expressions, textures, with all the fine details....show more content... The three animals of the novel come to epitomize Grendel's understanding of nature as indifferent and mechanical. At the beginning of the novel, the ram irritates Grendel because of the way it mindlessly follows its instincts and mechanical urges. Then comes the bull who can do no real harm to Grendel, since he can easily dodge its horns, but the bull repeatedly charges at Grendel without altering its approach at all. Grendel finds the bull's stupidity and inability to think amusing, laughing scornfully at the animal. Yet, several times in the novel he berates himself for being "as mechanical as anything else." We see his extreme frustration at this state expressed in his encounter with the goat, which most vividly and grotesquely represents the plight of the machine. These types of imagery represent part of the character that is Grendel. Unlike the ram, which frustrates Grendel, and the bull, which amuses him, the goat haunts him with its mindless persistence that drove him to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Imagine this. Sand pelts at your suit and the glass dome that surrounds your head. Wind whips violently all around, and the air is stale. You crack your eyes open to a dry, barren–land with a chill running down your spine, and only one knowledge comes to mind. You are alone. This is how it would feel to step into Mark Watney's shoes. Told in a comical and thrilling sciencefiction novel, "The Martian," by Andy Weir creates a situation in which Mark Watney, the main character, is accidentally left on Mars due to a violent sandstorm, resulting in NASA having to evacuate their mission early without him. Where Mark is thrust in a situation where he must survive, I believe that when thrown into a situation like so, moping only fails you, and perseverance...show more content... The one's that appear the most throughout the book though are pure imagery and irony. Irony plays a big part in the overall lesson because that's one of the main ways that Mark expresses himself, and reacts to his current situation. Plus, let's be real, Mark does needs some humor while stranded on Mars. For example, Mark states, "But this'll be true proof. I'll call it the 'plugs out test.' Maybe that's not the best name." Another literary device used that is very apparent consists of imagery. Imagery really has helped me paint the picture in my mind of what happened, especially since I haven't been to Mars, I mean, I don't know about you though. The author's craft of imagery in this book really made me have a picture in my mind of what it would be like. From the chill of Mars, to the battle it gives, to the emptiness Mars gives. It continued tumbling down the hill, bouncing the traveler around like clothes in a dryer. After twenty meters, the soft powder gave way to more solid sand and the rover shuddered to a halt. In general, all of the literary devices used throughout this book really tie into the hard struggle that Mark faces, but yet the optimism and humor that are described throughout the events that really makes Mark a persevering character. The author's use of literary devices really paints a picture in my head of what it would be like to enter Mark's Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Essay on The Imagery of Othello The Imagery of Othello Talks In the tragedy Othello the Bard of Avon uses imagery to talk between the lines, to set moods, to create a more dramatic impact on the mind of the audience, and for other reasons. Let's consider imagery in this essay. A surprising, zoo–like variety of animal injury occur throughout the play. Kenneth Muir, in the Introduction to William Shakespeare: Othello, explains the conversion of Othello through his increased use of animal imagery: Those who have written on the imagery of the play have shown how the hold Iago has over Othello is illustrated by the language Shakespeare puts into their mouths. Both characters use a great deal of animal imagery, and it is interesting to note...show more content... It is true that the play contains many references to "heaven and hell and devils." as Wilson Knight has pointed out. But Mr. Knight has wisely refrained from drawing the conclusion that Shakespeare means thus to comment upon Othello's ultimate fate. (66) The vulgar imagery of the ancient dominate the opening of the play. Francis Ferguson in "Two Worldviews Echo Each Other" describes the types of imagery used by the antagonist when he "slips his mask aside" while awakening Brabantio: Iago is letting loose the wicked passion inside him, as he does from time to time throughout the play, when he slips his mask aside. At such moments he always resorts to this imagery of money–bags, treachery, and animal lust and violence.

The first picture of Homer that would come to mind would probably be a rough and rugged construction worker, with dark skin, somewhat like that of a roofer. This image is somewhat connected with that of the image of Emily's father. Another way that Faulkner exhibits imagery, is the odor, coming from Emily's house, that the neighbors are complaining about. When Judge Stevens said that "it's probably just a snake or a rat that nigger of hers killed in the yard" (289), right away, the smell of rotting flesh comes to mind. Creating a putrid, horrible smell in the reader's mind. Odor is a very effective use of imagery when an author is trying to convey a character's feelings of something in the story. The most detailed mental picture that Faulkner describes in the story would be that of the room in the upstairs of Emily's house.

The witches have a twisted sense of humor when they tell Macbeth and Banquo of the destined future, which is really the beginning of Macbeth's power hungry ascent. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth hallucinate numerous times before and after Duncan's murder. The hallucinations are driving Macbeth mad and Lady Macbeth coddles her husband so that she may use him in her murderous plots. Macbeth exits Duncan's room with blood on his hands and daggers. "Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." The blood represents how guilt he feels before the murder and obviously afterward. Macbeth murdered his king's intoxicated guards after Duncan to make sure he was not accused and trying to absolve himself of the guilt for the murders. "Will all great Neptune's ocean was this blood Clean from my hand? No; this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red." Even when the blood is washed away with water, Macbeth is still heavily weighed down with guilty; therefore the terrible guilt that weighs him down causes him to act rashly to cover up any witnesses or evidence that pertains to him or Lady Macbeth. Macbeth murders Banquo because of the witches' prophecy that Banquo shall beget kings however he will not be one.

I think this is to give a name to the person, however, she did not know his name she is still trying to give some recognition to him by capitalizing "Boy." Its like its symbolizing his name as if she were to know it. Additionally, in the same stanza she states, "Apparently died Alone" (4). When the author Brooks capitalized the word alone its like she wanted to emphasize that he was alone. One big question is why is that? What was he alone from, or was he alone when he died? I think the real question is that him being "Alone" is that during that time period was during the civil rights movement, so all of the African Americans felt like they were "Alone" and did not have anyone to help them. This would have especially been the case for the author because she grew up in Chicago, Illinois. Additionally, Gwendolyn Brooks uses a great deal of imagery to portray sadness in her poems. For example, in stanza eight she states, "He cried not only 'Father!' / but 'Mother! / Sister! / Brother. / The cry climbed up the alley. / It went up to the wind. / It hung upon the heaven for a long / stretch–strain of Moment" (Brooks 31–39). In this stanza she feels the cry that the love ones are making to there lost one. She uses imagery to show this pain through the spirit climbing the alley and going into the wind. Furthermore, the author goes on to in stanza three to state, "The Shot that killed him yes I heard / as I heard the Thousand shots before; / careening tinnily down the nights / across my years and arteries" (Brooks 8–11).

By listening to the prompting of the witches they have given in to them and side with the forces of evil. But, Banquo, is still cautious about the idea of even and darkness. He shows us that the witches ae only tell partial truths that look pretty at first, but, will hurt you in the end. This also brings to us to the theme of evil and how it does the same thing. It comes across as being very tempting but, will definitely bring you down in the end. Another strong image in the play is "blood". It is perhaps the most powerful image of Macbeth's character change. One such image is portrayed just before Macbeth visits the witches for the second time. He says to his wife, Lady Macbeth that "For mine own good All causes shall give away; I am in blood Stepp'd in so for, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er:" (III, IV, 166–169) This says that he is no longer concerned with who is in his way as long as he gets to the top.

Jung remarked: "When you concentrate on a mental picture it begins to stir, the image becomes enriched by details. It moves and develops, and so when we concentrate on inner pictures and we are careful not to interrupt the natural flow of events, our unconscious will produce a series of images that makes a complete story." (Jung, 1979) Jung's explanation remains one of the simplest and clearest descriptions of what guided imagery is and does. Jung further commented that this active imagination process was superior to dreams in defeating the unconscious for a quickening of maturation in analysis. In other words, imagery is superior to dreams in overcoming or defeating the unconscious mind's resistance to allowing buried truth to come to conscious awareness. Bringing this truth to the surface, where it can be acknowledged and properly dealt with, speeds up the therapeutic growth in analysis. German analyst Hanscarl Leuner, MD, called his basic level of imagery, "A superior short term therapy that closes the gap between symptom–centered procedures and the great psychoanalytic cure."

Keats's Ode to a Nightingale contains imagery that runs parallel to the actions of the author. Lines seventeen through twenty are an example of decorative language used to explain the author's means of disappearing into the forest. "With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, / And purple–stained mouth; / That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, / And with thee fade away into the forest dim." The story is affected by this flamboyant transition because it settles the reader into the narrator's new point of reference. Being in the dark with only the nightingale's note at his ear brings forth his feelings of death. The speaker starts to elaborately talk about his desire "to cease upon the midnight with no pain... (54)". His lavish description of the bird fleeing also helps to explain his refute towards his state of being. The importance of books to experience the world could not be relayed without flattering language. On First Looking into Chapman's Home by Keats is an example of this language. It is understood that he is speaking highly of traveling metaphorically through books because of the first line. The line states, "Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold," which stands for the world of art. Using gold as part of the description of literature, it helps to emphasis the importance of reading.

(1.1.91–93) In this we see that Cordelia cannot take the appreciative path that her sister's took in order to make their father happy and confident to leave the kingdom to his daughters.
