It is possible to see the use of imagery when Twain describes Captain Brown and when he shows the reason that made him criticize this captain's speech. Both descriptions show how expectation and reality can be very different things.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Imagery is a figure of speech that allows the stimulation of the readers' senses, through very vivid descriptions.
  • We can see an example of this when Twain describes Captain Brown.
  • In this description, Twain uses very specific adjectives and presents details that allow the reader to visualize the captain and his behavior.
  • Twain also uses imagery when showing the reasons that make him criticize the captain. This allows the reader to increase the understanding of the character and the context in which he is inserted.

The use of imagery makes the reader understand that Twain was encouraged to believe that life at sea was wonderful because of people like Brown, but life at sea was very challenging and this was not shown to people, which shows that dreams glamorous things sometimes turn into harsh realities.

The nineteen year-old girl had just made her fourth score in her soccer game, the fourth goal winning the game. She looked over and saw her cousin applauding her from the sidelines, a present, which excited her, tucked under her arms.
After the game, the girl walked over to her cousin, took the present, and opened it. Inside was a beautiful necklace with a soccer ball as a pendant. It had a charm to it, the girl saw. Her cousin patted her on the back and congratulated her, grinning as he did so.
Later, the teenage girl sat at her computer, looking at the format with the new picture of the necklace she had just downloaded. She turned and saw the portrait of her parents on her bedroom wall. Then, she smiled. Turning back to the computer, she started to play a game. The goal was to merge two circles together by tapping rapidly. If you didn't merge the circles in time, they would squirt black ink in the player's face.
After getting bored with the game, the girl began her homework. She only had one vocabulary word left: Sermon. Getting stumped with the word, the girl made a verdict, or decision, to look up the word.
Turning on her phone, she saw that the screen was quite bleary. She silently cursed, but then took out her packet of homework and a pencil. At the top corner of the first page was an earthworm with a top hat, saying, "Learning is fun!"
The packet was on Mathematics, so the girl thought that she was never going to get it done. She had only recently learned, for about the thousandth time, angles. She already knew about acute, obtuse, and right angles, yet the teachers still force her to work on them. She didn't have a protractor at hand, so she couldn't do some of the questions. On the next page, a set of printed 3D shapes were placed on the paper. There was a cone picture, too, with only one vertex. Next to the cone were two congruent cubes.
After finishing the packet, the girl went to bed, very tired.
