Imagery is a literary device that is used by poets, novelists, and other writers to help create images in the readers’ minds. It often uses figurative and metaphorical language to boost a reader’s experience through their senses. Imagery allows a writer to picture the whole story instead of just bluntly describing it. Here are some examples that will help you understand the use of imagery.

<em>The forest was dark and dim.</em>

<em> - </em>Here, the adjectives ‘dark” and “dim” are used to give a visual image of the forest that the writer is talking about.

<em />

<em>He screamed for help as the mugger approached.</em>

- Here, “screamed” appeals to the readers’ auditory sense.

In a majority of the cases, imagery is assisted by a figure of speech like metaphor, personification, simile, and onomatopoeia to describe the story more vividly.

Why creating visual images or focusing on what you can make your readers see is important?
