In my personal narrative, My Back Surgery I used imagery. This
helped my piece in so many ways . The figurative language really helps paint a
vivid picture in the readers mind. Without the figurative language it would be
hard to picture this and other stories. I believe that all good authors use
figurative language in their stories.
One form of imagery I used was tone in this sentence: as we
sat at the kitchen table everyone was laughing and talking but I was scared to
death for what the next day would bring. I created a tone of fright. If I took
out that sentence the frightening tone would not have been there and you would
not know I was scared.
The other form would be mood in this sentence: Once I got
home there was a lot of ups and downs in the healing process but I made the
best of it. Sort of shows empathy and what it would be like to walk in my shoes
if I did not add this sentence I believe empathy would still be implied.
The examples that I used are just a small part of imagery
when you are using imagery you need to make sure you use it from the beginning to
the end otherwise you will lose your readers attention. But I think that the
types of figurative language and imagery I used painted a good picture in the
readers head.
