Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:
<em>"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."</em>
<em>"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."</em>
<em>"...He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal´klated to edercate him(...) and you bet you he did learn him, too.</em>
Twain is satirizing several aspects of American life, but specially the country "punks" who tend to speak at length about subjects that are close to them but are really unimportant an nonsensical.
Answer: Vivid imagery is often used to help the reader form a mental picture.
Basically, vivid imagery is a widely used technique in the field of writing. Simply because, many writers find it as a very effective method to describe something to the reader. In vivid imagery, the writer should include the five senses which are the sense of sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing when he describes something in his writing piece. In this way, the reader will have a clear idea of what the writer is talking about.
Is this an analogy? If so, finger is to hand as leaf is to branch
This would be because, fingers are on a hand; leaves are on a branch.
