Imagery in a Selected Poem Paragraph
In "Cadillac Moon" by Kevin Young, the mood it sets off is very anticipating. The way that it is said and described. For example, "Joy ride. Hot wired. O the rush before the wreck— each Cadillac, a Titanic, an iceberg that's met its match"; It uses the sense of sight because it wants you to visualize how bad the accident was and by comparing it to the Titanic heating the iceberg. Another example would be "playing stickball, a car stole his spleen. Blind sided"; This part of the poem appeals to the sense of touching because it is telling us how the collisionof the automobile felt like. Another example, "Red Cross—the pill-pale ambulance, inside out, he hitched to the hospital"; this appeals to the sense of sight because it is describing the ambulance. The use of imagery expresses feelings by giving descriptive words that we can visualize in our heads and know what is going on.
