5. Why do we need to use Imagery?
Imagery- the use of figurative language and other descriptive language that appeals to the senses.
This allows the readers to see, taste, touch, hear or feel an object.

6. Example of Imagery
The hot July sun beat relentlessly down like an oven cooking a pizza, casting an orange glare over the farm buildings, the fields, the pond. Even the usually cool green willows bordering the pond hung wilted and dry. Our sun-baked backs ached for relief. We quickly pulled off our sweaty clothes and plunged into the pond, but the tepid water only stifled us and we soon climbed onto the brown, dusty bank. Our parched throats longed for something cool--a strawberry ice, a tall frosted glass of lemonade.
We pulled on our clothes, crackling underbrush, the sharp briars pulling at our damp jeans, until we reached the watermelon patch. As we began to cut open the nearest melon, we could smell the pungent skin mingling with the dusty odor of the dry earth. The smell was a rainbow in the sky; so beautiful. Suddenly, the melon gave way with a crack, revealing the deep, red sweetness inside.
