The following examples and definitions concerning imagery and symbolism will help you identify them in the texts from Unit 2 and write a paragraph about them.

  • Example of imagery: "The yellow flowers danced in the wind like gentle ballerinas."
  • Example of symbolism: The author can mention one image often to mean something else. For instance, he can mention smoke to signify confusion or fear.

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). Its goal is to involve readers and help them to visualize what is being described and feel a certain way. This device relies on descriptive words.

<h3>What is symbolism?</h3>

Symbolism uses something to represent something else, usually something simple or small to represent something bigger and more important. A classic example is a national flag, often associated with ideas of independence and freedom.
