Imagery

At first, I thought imagery was use of words to create an image, but this was wrong. Actually, imagery is language that appeals to the five senses. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was things like idioms, personifications and metaphors, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are similes, metaphors, and personification.
