Imagery

Definition: The use of imagery is when an author adds descriptive words to enhance the reader's grasp on the scene or occurrences. The words help the readers use their senses; the regular five, Auditory, Visual, Olfactory, Tactile, Gustatory.  Along with two others, Organic, and Kinestheti, which are more of feeling inside, and outside forces.

Example:

I can see the snow fall,

White, cold, covering all,

I can feel the winter frost,

And hear the morning dew drop

(You can see the snow, feel the cold, and hear the droplets of dew, which create the imagery sensation.)

Significance: This is an important concept because it gives a deeper understanding and relation to the writing, and keeps the writing alive because you can use your own senses to see/hear/feel/smell what's going on.
