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.
