Imagery is the usage of strong, graphic, striking and colourful language/descriptions of events, people, places, nature, etc. producing strong and clear images in the mind of the reader or listener.
The word or phrase the author uses can trigger different or all five of your senses (hearing, seeing, tasting, touching and smelling).
It is the element in literary work that enables the reader to have both visual and emotional experience in reaction to the written piece.
Imagery also allows the author to show the reader what is meant, instead instead of just telling them about it.
