    The imagery White uses in his essay mirrors poetry. He makes a very strong point with the painting of his statement. For example, when speaking of his imagery of the lake; “I wondered how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot—the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps” he paints a picture. Once again, when reflecting how beautiful the mornings were; “The lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and the wet woods whose scent entered through the screen”. Very valid details and descriptions are made when he reflects. This is great. All great authors should make very detailed descriptions when stating or telling something that they really want the reader to capture. White actually takes you to where or what he is talking about.…

    Imagery is the use of descriptive language in order to paint a picture in the mind of the reader. If Anne Bradstreet reads a sentence describing a tree and Jason Mraz reads the same sentence 200 years later they both have the same picture in their mind. In "To My Dear and Loving Husband," Anne Bradstreet puts a picture in the mind of the reader of tremendous amounts of gold…

    The poem by T.S. Eliot “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is a dramatic monologue written in 1915. Close to the end of the poem Mr. Prufrock stated “It is impossible to say just what I mean” (104). This statement will be analyzed to discover the hidden connotation of this phrase and convey the speaker’s ultimate goal. The questions that will be answered are: What does Prufrock mean when stating “It is impossible to say just what I mean” (104)? Is this statement stated due to a lack of vocabulary, words cannot convey his actual emotions, or is he just unable to express his own emotions to the listener? Are there other underlying circumstances to cause Prufrock not to speak his mind? By the end these questions will be understood along with the true…

    Most figures of speech cast up a picture in your mind. These pictures created or suggested by the writer is called 'imagery'. To fully understand the world of imagery, we must also understand how the writer uses it to convey more than what is actually being said or literally meant. This is represented in a variety of texts that we will take a closer look at such as John Steinbeck’s Of Mice & Men and the two poems Weapons Training and Homecoming by poet Bruce Dawe.…

    In poetry, many poets use prosody to bring their writing to life. Prosody is the pronunciation of a poem, and it usually includes elements such as sound, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, rhythm, stress, and meter. These effects can take poetry to a completely different level, beyond only imagery. In the poem, ?The Word Plum,? by Helen Chasin, examples of alliteration and onomatopoeia are used to bring her subject, a plum, to life.…

    Diction In The Raven

    This is another in a long line of references to eyes in Poe’s stories and poems. Poe implemented eyes in no paucity in his writings as an instrument by which he could add to whatever emotion he wanted to add to- sometimes as a central part of the polt, as could be seen in The Tell-Tale Heart. It seems that Poe understood clearly and completely the ability of the eye to vehemently illustrate and evoke (as is the case here) emotion, the precision the eye could portray and reflect the human condition in, and its dominance when it comes to using physical clues to unveil hidden human sentiments and motivations, by noting even the most nuanced alterations in its form. Therefore, he committed himself in every story to, whenever there was a possibility, use its power. And use it he did.…

    Henry David Thoreau uses imagery to emphasize that we see well with our eyes, but what is essential is invisible to all but the mind. Thoreau elucidates how our, “vision does not penetrate the surface of things” to portray an image of how we are always understanding a little about ideas or items but we never look deeper than what our eyes can see to find the true meanings. He quotes, “we think that that is which appears to be” to explain how what appears to our eyes is the real meaning of the world or an object because that’s all we see physically. We never try to find out what is essential that only our mind can see but doesn’t understand. This portrays imagery because Thoreau is explaining how humans have always been looking at things and…
