How do authors use imagery to express themes?
An author uses imagery to help us see pictures, but images can also appeal to our senses of hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Imagery unlocks storehouses of memory and stirs our imagination. Their images will make us say "Oh yes, I see what you mean."
Wordsmiths: Define these words: incrimination, decomposing, delinquency, ambivalent, coaxes. What imagery does the author use to show fear on pp. 160 and 161?
Character Hunter: What imagery does the author use to show that Melinda is finally coming to terms with her fear and guilt? See p.166
Historian: Why is Melinda more afraid of Andy when he comes into the Art room than in any previous chapters?
Deep Thinker: What are the different images that show that Melinda is ambivalent about speaking out? Why is she still afraid to speak out?
Memorable Quote: "Flashes of lightning, children crying. Caught in an avalanche, pinned by worry, squirming under the weight of doubt, guilt. Fear"
