What is Imagery?
“Her head nodded and
her wrists were active,
showing off the jingling
bracelets she had
bought at the mall.”
The birds sang sweetly.
The tinkling of broken
glass.
She shrieked with joy.
 As stinky as a dirty
diaper.
It smelled like rotten
eggs.
It smelled clean and
fresh, like Grandma’s
laundry.
The sour taste of vomit.
As salty as a potato
chip.
The metallic taste of blood.
 The lotion gave her
baby-soft skin.
He was tied tightly, and
the rough bark gouged
his back.
It was as soft as rabbit’s
fur.
Imagery is a
literary device that
causes readers to
imagine pictures in
their mind.
• It allows the reader to
sympathize with characters
and narrators as they
imagine having the same
sense of experince.
