At first, I thought imagery was something that you imagined but I learned that this was wrong.  Actually, imagery is something that appeals to the five senses.  I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language a speech of a president but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes on thing in terms of another and is meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are metaphor,simile and personification.
