Hello! Today, we're going to talk about imagery. Imagery (and this is also in both poetry and prose) but imagery is the use of the description of things in a poem, of concrete things you can see smell, touch, taste, hear. That’s imagery. Sometimes imagery is just imagery. It’s describing a tree. It just wants to set the scene. Sometimes, images can also be symbols, because remember a symbol is a concrete image-- a concrete thing in a work that represents an abstraction. So, when we talk about imagery, we're just talking about the things that you can detect using your five senses in a poem or piece of prose. But, when we step to the next level--those things can just be by themselves—but, remember they can also represent something else abstract, then they also become symbols. Have a good day!
