Examples of Imagery:

Baldwin uses imagery to evike life conditions.....

“.... their houses were dark, with oil cloth or cardboard in the windows, the smell was enough to make you puke your guts out”.

“..... had been in a civilized country for years and they still lived like animals”.

He also uses imagery to describe desperation.....

“with his mouth full of blood, and one eye, barely, open, glaring like the eye of a cat in the dark”
