Imagery and metaphor

Imagery Using language to create pictures in people’s minds Often the difference between summary (stating what happened) and scene (describing what happened). Use setting, description, and specific details Certain images create certain moods in the story.

Imagery Choose one summary and flesh it out with imagery: He found the drowned giant. She slept in a garden. They danced for the moon. It crouched in the jungle.

Imagery What different moods does your descriptions create? How might this imagery be symbolic of something more than it appears?

Metaphor Comparing one thing to another More specifically, giving the qualities of one thing to something completely different. For example: Sun: hot, bright, burning, life-giving but also destructive My love is the sun Love is given the qualities of the sun

Metaphor Can operate on a sentence level, in the form of metaphors (X is Y) and similes (X is like Y). Can operate on a bigger picture in the form of symbols and use of reoccurring images. Could be argued all fiction is metaphoric Could be argued many everyday expressions are metaphoric (e.g. ‘He is moving forward’ compares life to a linear journey)

Writing exercise: Metaphors and similes Choose one from these group of words created by a random noun generator ( : Endings, fishing, geography, slavery, she, barkeeper, humanity, pathway, Quaker, lily, ghost, forest, cave, yogi, craft, doubt, elephant, mile, poppy, snowstorm, throat, toenail, angle, beer, eyebrow, joke, plasterboard, process, soap, sound, adjustment, belief, brick, crate, iris, ladybug, professor, slipper, smile, singlet, debt, dog, mitten, Patricia, pencil, shame, sugar, teacher, connection, harmony, instruction, grip

Writing exercise: Metaphors and similes Now choose one from this group: Witch, cat, donkey, flower, couch, teacup, villain, angel, kite, chainsaw, walrus, buckskin, mouse, ocean, table, blanket, drawers, banister, jade, xylophone, baritone, herring, cardigan, key, peanut, coin, country, street, bladder, bus, cable, gateway, pipe, science, summer, surfboard, wren, cloakroom, tap, jeans, truck, balloon, noodles, jar, foundation, butcher, hail, grease, landmine, puppy, toad, market, helicopter

Writing exercise: Metaphors and similes Combine your two words in a sentence as a metaphor and in another sentence as a simile (you can add extra words if needed). What images do these combinations create in the reader’s mind? Does it work? Why or why not? What is the difference between the metaphor and the simile? What kind of tone or mood do you create?

So wrong it’s right 20
