Thanks for checking out this lesson (the very first in our series), Khatoon! We've come a long way since 2019, and we hope you've seen some improvements in our work since then!
Vales and hills in Daffodils by Wordsworth is an example of imagery. And in simple sense we can say Butterfly fluttering around the newly bloomed buds of spring. Thank you for this wonderful explanation Sir!
Thanks so much for supporting the project, ClassicallyInclined! We hope you enjoyed the other videos. Feel free to suggest other terms that you might like us to explore.

@@leetintary5710 Thanks for the suggestions, Lee! We're planning a separate series on rhetorical terms, and we should be rolling them out as soon as we have a few videos lined up. And some drama terms will be coming up quite soon in the current series.
Thanks for the question, Millicent. We'd direct you to the end of Prof Malewitz's video here for an answer. The "nature" of the imagery involves not only what senses are being appealed to in a given passage--touch, taste, sight, and so on--but also the tone or mood that that imagery conveys--serious, funny, sad, frightening, etc. and what theme might be conveyed through that imagery. Hope that helps!
Wonderful video.. . Very engaging... one single example discussed here served us to understand a lot more. Could have included a bit on kinesthetic and organic too... Justa suggestion.
I had read the story once and it really does a good job of expressing the shackles of this socially necessary institution of marriage in a patriarchal society. It is a true tragedy disguised as normalcy.
Sorry, realHouseofTroll. We went to sleep three weeks ago and have just now seen this message. To answer your question, we don't think anyone was up. You're welcome to try again later, though!
Literary Imagery definitely functions as a way for the reader to better imagine the world of the piece of literature and also add symbolism to the work. I liked everything you've explained here, and I feel you can supplement this article with examples of different types of sensory imagery: oakwords.com/sensory-imagery-literary-examples/ I also read that Stephen King, the master of gory description, never leaves out tactile imagery in his captivating descriptions, as is evident in the crime writer's above description of the three types of terror. Tactile imagery relates to the sense of touch.
Many thanks, Bushra! We certainly agree with you that tactile imagery can help to convey the worldview of certain characters (and the general mood of a literary work). Thanks for pushing the conversation forward!
The person looks stiff, knd of like a robot, and the background is blank which is okay but it looks a little bland (I am not trying to be mean I just want this person to improve their videos so they can succeed)
