Imagery: Sensory details or figurative language used to describe , arouse emotion, or represent abstractions. May use terms related to the five sences: visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, or olfatory imagery. May be used with other figures of speech, especially metaphor and simile, to create a strong, unified sensory impression.
Example:
" I had been at my new home but one week before Mr.Covey gave me a very severe whipping, cutting my back, causing the blood to run and raising ridges on my flesh as large as my little finger."
This is imagery because we can visualize the severe whipping. Even though it does not contain the five senses. It only uses visual, and tactile because we can "feel" the ridges on his back.
