WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

Imagery: visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in literally work

Imagery in "The Great Gatsby":

• "The light grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher." This is an example of imagery in the setting.
• "This is a valley of ashes- a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and risking smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air." This is another example of imagery in The Great Gatsby.
• "She was in the middle thirties, and faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can. Her face.....contained not facet or gleam of beauty but there was an immediately perceptible vitality about her as if the nerves as her body were continually smoldering." This is an example of imagery with the characters.

"Love Song" Summary

This poem sound really dramatic in some parts but in some parts it doesn't sound dramatic at all. I think that the author is trying to give and send a message about love and about another topic which is being dramatic. The poem is about a women and the poem ends with a part about a mermaid.

CAN WE WATCH THE MOVIE?

The ,movie was really easy. We stopped in a  part where the movie was getting really interesting. The way the book described the characters were the same way as I imagined them. The only character that I imagined very different was Nick. But the movie and the book are very similar.
