Imagery is defined in The Oxford Dictionary as visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work. Imagery is one of the many examples of rhetorical devices used in literature to express the author’s ideas. In Dan Egan’s book, The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, Egan puts emphasis on the details to provide the readers with a clear vision to Egan’s ideas. In the beginning Egan talks about the seaway construction by stating, “Construction crews from boths side of the border tore into the river channel with so much violence and with such heavy earth-moving machinery” (Egan 22) Egan use of imagery allows for readers to understand what is going on through a mental picture.

Imagery is when the author uses adjectives and is very descriptive in order to create an image in your head about what is happening or the setting looks like. For example, when Gerda went to Niania’s house to say goodbye, she sees Niania sitting at the window asleep. Klein writes, “I saw her in that early dawn like a figure in a beautiful, long-forgotten dream” (72). This description helps you better understand what Gerda saw.

One example of imagery in “The Veldt” is the imagery of the lions in the nursery. “so feverishly and startlingly real that you could feel the prickling fur on your hand, and your mouth was stuffed with the dusty upholstery smell” (Bradbury). This upholstery smell references the smell of George’s wallet that was used to purchase the nursery which contains the lions. These lions killing George and his wife show that purchasing the nursery with the lions was unwise for the them and the children. “George Hadley embodies the theme of consumerism because he believes in providing the best that money can buy for his family” (Milne). The realistic lions show that George spared no expense for his children to have a place to express their imagination. However, it backfires when the spoiled children imagine their parents dead. Another example of imagery in “The Veldt” is the imagery of the nursery. “The ceiling above them became a deep sky with a hot yellow sun” (Bradbury). This quote shows how realistic and top-of-the-line the nursery is, that it’s able to simulate reality perfectly. This shows how spoiled the children and how the nursery can do whatever the children want, good or bad. “He pivots upon an individual, a specific object, or particular act, and then shows it from a different perspective or a new viewpoint. The result can become a

In the novel, Chiger uses descriptive details and her thoughts and attitudes toward the situation that she was placed into set the tone. She describes and explains the agony, hatred, and hopelessness she and others felt in the sewers, revealing her bitterness for the sewers and the Nazis. Chiger also uses mood to present her messages by creating different moods around different characters, making some optimistic and hopeful while making others pessimistic and morose. “This was a reflection of their personalities: my father was gregarious and personable; Weiss was gruff and miserable” (Chiger 107). This is relatable because some people may have disparate attitudes toward a negative situation, and each person may have a different demeanor or mood in response to it. Chiger conveys her themes of struggle and survival through tone and mood, and makes it somewhat relatable.
