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?

Flashforward & Prince’s Point Of View

I wandered through the warmth of the desert until I could no longer. I had been traveling for years. Was I ever to find my Rapunzel again? I began to weep over my loss. Suddenly, I heard it. The sweetest music of my love’s voice. It was her. It had to be. I stumbled towards the voice. I heard her walking towards me, and felt her soft hand upon my face. She held me in her arms, and cried. Her bittersweet tears dripped from her eyes to mine. I stroked her face, hoping to visualize my sweet Rapunzel again.

 

Earlier  

There were once a man and a woman who had long in vain wished for a child. At length the woman hoped that God was about to grant her desire. These people had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen, which was full of the most beautiful flowers and herbs. It was, however, surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go into it because it belonged to an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the world. One day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion (rapunzel), and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it, she quite pined away, and began to look pale and miserable. Then her husband was alarmed, and asked: 'What ails you, dear wife?' 'Ah,' she replied, 'if I can't eat some of the rampion, which is in the garden behind our house, I shall die.' The man, who loved her, thought: 'Sooner than let your wife die, bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will.' At twilight, he clambered down over the wall into the garden of the enchantress, hastily clutched a handful of rampion, and took it to his wife. She at once made herself a salad of it, and ate it greedily. It tasted so good to her—so very good, that the next day she longed for it three times as much as before. If he was to have any rest, her husband must once more descend into the garden. In the gloom of evening therefore, he let himself down again; but when he had clambered down the wall he was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him. 'How can you dare,' said she with angry look, 'descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief? You shall suffer for it!' 'Ah,' answered he, 'let mercy take the place of justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat.' Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him: 'If the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world; it shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother.' The man in his terror consented to everything, and when the woman was brought to bed, the enchantress appeared at once, gave the child the name of Rapunzel, and took it away with her.  

Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child under the sun. When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut her into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top was a little window. When the enchantress wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath it and cried:

'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.'

Rapunzel had magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of the enchantress she unfastened her braided tresses, wound them round one of the hooks of the window above, and then the hair fell twenty ells down, and the enchantress climbed up by it.

 

Rapunzel’s POV  

I was terrified when the strange man leaped through my window. I had never seen a man before. Our eyes met, then he spoke to me. That is when i knew; i was going to love this man.  

Gothel’s POV

I heard the snip of the scissors and the sound of my Rapunzel’s heart breaking. She had betrayed me, and had to pay for her bad behavior. I would miss her. Really. However, my job was nowhere near finished. I still had to eliminate her prince.  

Reasoning  

I chose the Flashforward and parallel plot techniques. Flashforwarding is a way to get the reader’s attention and have them want more or tp expect more. Parallel Plot helps to aid my understanding of each character in the story and their individual feelings.
