What is Imagery? Imagery is the formation of mental

images, figures, or likenesses of things.

How Imagery is used It is used to help the reader contain a

mental image of the person, place, or object that the author is describing.

Examples Her blue eyes were as bright as the Sun,

blue as the sky, but soft as silk. Her eyes were yellow as if the sun had

arrived.

Poor examples Once again her skin was soft as if she

wear wearing 10 lbs of lotion.

How can we make this better?
