Imagery is language that creates a sensory impression within the reader’s mind. It allows the reader to see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste what is happening in the story - all in the mind of course. Imagery makes the reader feel like he is there, in the story, experiencing the same things that the character is experiencing.
