Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 7 AIL 0628 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Imagery, as the Anchor Defines It
Captions available
The idea
The glossary says an image is a word picture, which may be a phrase, a sentence or a line, used to enhance appreciation of the figurative more than the literal. Imagery need not be visual, though the glossary's word picture invites that assumption.
In practice
A word picture, not only a visual one.
Where people slip
The term covers all five senses.
