Imagery is a literary device that offers a collection of visual images of actions, ideas or objects through certain use of words or phrases that appeals to the physical senses of the readers and evoke the desired response from them. It is employed by the authors in art forms in order to propose a visual representation of ideas(mental images) that would assist the readers to affiliate the context of the narrative through these images. <em>In this excerpt, the author has employed imagery to reflect and suggest the character's determination and strong-will through the words "whopped", "scraped", "brushed away ..with one motion".</em>
