Imagery is a term used when referring to any descriptive
language used by a writer. When you see something in real life, or in a photo or a
film, you see an image. When you read a description of something a writer wants you to
visualize (or sense in some other way), he/she must use imagery to get the picture
across to the reader.
Symbolism is one thing that stands in
for or represents another. Colors are common symbols in literature: white for purity,
virginity or cleanliness; red for passion, anger or evil. Usually a color or other
object needs to be repeated in order for the reader to understand that the writer
intends it to be symbolic.
