Examples of Imagery:

To the gods we are like the flies that the boys kill on a summer’s day.

The very sparrows do not lose a feather that has not been brushed away by the finger of God.

Blurred and streaked became her view of the serene Pacific and the enormous clouds of pearl that hang forever motionless above it.
