Imagery In Jerry's Through The Tunnel

337 Words2 Pages

First of all, Imagery plays a considerable role in the book, “Through the Tunnel,” as it shows the world through Jerry’s perspective. Children are usually detail-oriented, and pay special attention to unimportant things. This can be shown towards the beginning of the book, where emphasis is put on the “swinging, naked arm” of Jerry’s mother. Only towards the end of the book is the arm not mentioned. Jerry also pays a lot of attention to detail after he gets his swimming goggles, describing the underwater now as “clear, delicate, and wavering in the bright water.” Most of the Imagery is found near the beginning and middle of the book. Since children are usually alert and notice small details, the fact that this seems to falter towards the end

  • Imagery In Rick Bragg's Endless Summer

    173 Words  | 1 Pages

    In a nostalgic article “Endless Summer”, Rick Bragg uses imagery to reveal how the characteristics of a long lasting summer have been changed over time, and often generations now take summer for granted. As a child, Bragg thought of summer as a symbol of time and slowly watched it “stew and simmer” away. He goes into further detail about how as a child he would play in a mud hole to pass time. This opposes his views later stated about how kids today would rather be found inside on electronics to pass their boredom. Bragg’s also states that kids today will never feel “mud mush between their toes” like he felt as a child.

    When I attended Shrek the Musical put on by Wylie High Schools Theater Department, I admit that I did not have high expectations. I had always enjoyed the Shrek movies, but was not prepared to witness the green Ogre come to life before my eyes. From the moment the characters marched down the isle of the auditorium, it was evident that many talented people had put time in effort into making this performance enjoyable and memorable. Shrek the Musical consisted of a tremendous cast, beautiful music, awe inspiring scenery in addition to heart felt imagery.

    This is used to compare the visual from before, in which the children looked as if they weren’t human and detached from one another. Dominating the image are two young children who are laughing and entertaining themselves with a spade and shovel, portraying the immediate shift in behaviour once they are initiating in proper social activities. Thus, readers are enlightened and encouraged to stand up and be apart of the solution. Smith also provides the audience with a range of advantages in taking the kids outsides, from no more “arguments and demands” to “a child’s first ecstatic experience of buoyancy”; they are positioned to prevent further interactions with screens by allowing them to experience the outside world and enhance their “world of senses” and “childhood

    Wilbur does so with comforting and childlike rhyme scheme and tone with personification to ease the child’s thoughts. This leaves the child to not dream of “some small thing in a claw/ borne up to some dark branch and eaten raw.” The poem successfully calms the child’s worries and relieves their curiosity. Collins, on the other hand, ironically portrays the teacher as protecting the children’s innocence when he later implies that they had already lost it. He is shielding them from real world events that every child should learn in school.

    The imagery had much light and childishness to it. With images such as “it seemed to Myop as she skipped lightly from her house to pigpen to smokehouse that the days had never been as beautiful as these”. As well as having lines such as “she felt light and good in the warm sun”, and “She struck out at random at chickens she liked” to create the feeling of child hood innocence, using all of this light to mean goodness and being unaffected by the harshness of reality. However she also uses the imagery later to show the loss of innocence when she describes everything as darker, when she starts using lines such as “it seemed gloomy in the little clove she found herself in” and “all his cloths had rotted away”. Alice walker is using this imagery to convey that the innocence has been lost at this point, taken by the harshness of reality and death.

    It’s like the kids are desensitized to watching locals in the neighborhood go to jail or get searched for drugs. If Gladwell used a more shocked tone towards what he had seen with the children, then the audience would not have fully been able to get the full effect of how “normal” these type of arrests are. Imagery is another rhetoric element in The Crooked Ladder. During all the criminal events that take place, imagery exemplifies the scene. In the case of Ianni, she is vividly able to detail the life of criminals Mike and Chuck.

These passages serve to highlight how Daphne 's mind deviates from the norm. She has an unusually vivid imagination that seems almost childlike at times. The use of personification puts further emphasis on her childishness, but her overactive imagination is not always harmless and sometimes takes a darker turn, revealing fears that appear to be deeply
