Imagery
Definition: Language that appeals to the senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste
Ways to add Imagery:
1. Use alliteration: repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of the words
Ex: Stammering a reply and stomping out the door, the young scholar stopped and screamed at
at the teacher.
2. Use similes: comparing things using like or as
Ex: After seeing his grade, her fist hammered the desk and she screamed like a lioness having
come upon two hyenas eating her cub.
3. Use onomatopoeia: making sounds words
Ex: The bang of the door echoed through the hall as Billy left the room after a long detention.
4. Use metaphors: comparing things without using like or as
Ex: The football player – a stonebreaker on the field, a stone off it – lamented his ineligibility.
