Images in literature occur when the writer describes something and that invokes or stimulate the reader's senses such as: <em>hearing, smell, touch, sight or taste</em>. This literary device is known as <em>"imagery"</em>.

In <em>"The Old Man and the Sea"</em> accordingly:

1. (<em>page nine, the 1st paragraph</em>) describing the sail: <em>"The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat" </em>

2. <em>Page 9, 2nd. paragrafh</em>, describing the old man: <em>"...The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck..." </em>

3. When describing Santiago in (<em>page 10</em>),  the writer says: <em>"...except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful..." </em>

4. In <em>page 11</em>, (<em>a fishing memory</em>) <em>"...feeling the whole boat shiver and the noise of you clubbing him like chopping a tree down and the sweet blood smell all over me"</em>

5. In <em>page 25</em>, (<em>the smell of Africa</em>) <em>"He smelled the tar and oakum of the deck as he slept and he smelled the smell of Africa that the land breeze brought at morning".</em>

In the novel "<em>The Old Man and the Sea" </em>by<em> Ernest Hemingway</em>, there are many  images.

  • Line 9: Image of number 40The repetitive use of the number forty throughout the novel. After 40 days ( which is exactly the duration it took Christ to live again) Manolin's parents decided that <em>"the old man was now and definitely salao, which is the worst form of unlucky"</em> The complete paragraph emphasizes Santiago's being unlucky. For example, "<em>It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty."</em>
  • Line 10: image of old age and eyesAt first, the author shows his main character as defeated and old. He refers to his scars as <em>"old as erosions in a fishless desert". </em>But, there are also images of Santiago's eyes, that in contrast to his old body are shown as " <em>...they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated".</em>
  • Line 30: the sea tha main character of the book, Santiago, represents the sea as a woman, "always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them"<em>. </em> He feels that he complements himself with the sea ( man and woman intertiwined)
  • Line 37: a turtleSantiago compares himself to a turtle ( he has worked at a turtle ship before) He says "<em>most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered... I have such a heart too and my hands and feet are like theirs"</em>

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The reason behind this imagery being more powerful is that it provides an emphasis in the form of subjective description, interpretation, and comparison to express an idea.

Explanation:

Imagery is a stylistic device to develop a description based on personal perception using objects of reference to represent the one the author talks about to make an emphasis on its appearance. It is a very good instrument to profound in the description because it allows us to establish comparisons, taking as reference objects and events that are not connected to the initial idea.
