Imagery

At first, I thought imagery was A picture book. But I learned that this was wrong. Actually, imagery is the picture that you get in your head when you read or hear the book. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was bigger words in books. But I learned that figurative language is language enriched by word images and figures of speech. The three main types of figurative language are metaphor, metonomy, and synecdoche.
