The Tyger Ap Language

Imagery is used by many writers and this is when the writer uses visually descriptive or figurative language.

One example of imagery in the text is the sense sound. The author used the sense of sound to create imagery so that the reader can imagine what is going on. The author reports, "He knew his pursuer was coming; He heard the padding sound of feet on the soft earth." This is an example of imagery because Rainsford described what he heard so that the reader could imagine what sound he heard. This is important to the plot line because the main part of the story revolves on not getting found and to stay alive. If he can hear the padding of his pursuers feet than he might lose "the game.'' Therefore the sense of sound is incorporated into the literature to help develop the plot of the

For example, “... did nothing to block the blinding light and searing heat beating down from above. He opened his mouth… and a raw plume of dry warmth shot down his throat, seeming to obliterate any air or moisture in its path.” (94). This displays imagery because it describes how it made Thomas feel. The reader can imagine how bright and how dry it was. Additionally, “It was a wasteland. In front of him, a flat pan of dry and lifeless earth stretched as far as he could see. Not a single tree. Not a bush. No hills or valleys. Just an orange-yellow seat of dust and rocks; wavering currents of heated air boiled on the horizon like steam, floating upward, as if any life out there were melting toward the cloudless and pale blue sky.” (95). This exhibits imagery by describing what the land looked like. It puts a picture in the reader’s mind. To sum up, the imagery in this novel helped understand what the characters

William Blake’s 1793 poem “The Tyger” has many interpretations, but its main purpose is to question God as a creator. Its poetic techniques generate a vivid picture that encourages the reader to see the Tyger as a horrifying and terrible being. The speaker addresses the question of whether or not the same God who made the lamb, a gentle creature, could have also formed the Tyger and all its darkness. This issue is addressed through many poetic devices including rhyme, repetition, allusion, and symbolism, all of which show up throughout the poem and are combined to create a strong image of the Tyger and a less than thorough interpretation of its maker.

Another use of imagery is when the author used imagery to describe how the crowd was. It said,” Smagler gunned a long shot that swished through the net from outside the three-point line. Suddenly the lead was cut in half. The Suns all shouted, but they lost concentration just a second too long.” This made me paint of picture of how they made the shot and started screaming and shouting and let the Lakers go back down and score

We drove the sharp end of the beam into the monster's eye. This is an example of imagery because, here the reader can picture a big monster being stabbed through his eye.

“When we reached Horsehead Landing, lightning was playing across half the sky and thunder roared out, hiding even the sound of the sea.” This is an example of imagery because it gives us as the readers a detailed explanation of the scenery of what the narrator was seeing. It puts us in the shoes of the narrator , so it helps us to see what the narrator sees which is how the “lightning was playing across half the sky..”. This quote displays the mood of sadness and fear due to the fact that when most people think about storms and thunder/lightning, they think fear or

In Ethan Frome, there are many examples of imagery and literary devices that are used throughout the book. While Ethan is walking near the church he notices that “all its waking life was gathered behind the church windows, from which strains of dance-music flowed with the broad bands of yellow light”. This is an example of imagery because of the descriptive way the author is describing the church window. This passage is also important because of the window between Mattie and Ethan represents the distance between them at this moment in time, which pertains to the literary devices shown throughout the book. Another example is when Ethan and Mattie were on a date and “the cat, profiting by this unusual demonstration, tried to effect an unnoticed

met. In many ways this is similar to the “while” loop but instead of many times, a

Imagery is any piece of language that provokes the readers mind to form a mental picture or image.

Imagery is a strong element that helps portray a lot of internal feelings for the audience to fathom with, thus creating an experience that the audience can enjoy. Imagery is the language represented by sense experience and a literary device that helps create a mental picture for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to say to the audience (Johnson, Arp 779). The following is the poem by Langston Hughes: “The calm,/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss.” (Hughes 1-3) When examining the poem, “Suicide’s Note”, it is full of imagery with only three lines present. The

A final example of imagery would be, ¨Colonel Killigrew had wasted his best years, and his health and substance, in pursuit of sinful pleasure, which had given birth to a brood of pains, such as the gout, and divers other torments of soul and body¨ (502). Within this quote, there is a very strong connection with the visual of the character that relates to the theme of learning from the past and not making the same mistakes again. Without the use of strong imagery in a story, it's much more

'The Tyger' asks who could have made the tyger. More exactly, it is asking who could have made such an evil being as the tyger. It begins with the question the poem is based on What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?, and throughout the poem, the question is asked in different forms . And what shoulder, and what art, could twist the sinews of thy heart?.

Blake uses traditional symbols of angels and devils, animal imagery, and especially images of fire and flame to: 1) set up a dual world, a confrontation of opposites or "contraries" which illustrate how the rules of Reason and Religion repress and pervert the basic creative energy of humanity, 2) argues for apocalyptic transformation of the self "through the radical regeneration of each person's own power to imagine" (Johnson/Grant, xxiv), and 3) reconstructs Man in a new image, a fully realized Man who is both rational and imaginative, partaking of his divinity through creativity. The form of the poem consists of "The Argument," expositions on his concepts of the "contraries" and of "expanded perception" which are both interspersed with "Memorable Fancies" that explicate and enlarge on his expositions, and concludes with "A Song of Liberty," a prophecy of a future heaven on earth.

Blake not only talks of fire and evil when referring to the tiger, but of art and beauty as well; “what
