GCSE English Practice Test: Imagery - The Use Of Sensory Representations In A Text — practice the complete quiz, review flashcards, or try a random question.

Imagery refers to the collection of images contained in a text. Imagery is not purely visual; instead it includes all sensory representations. If a writer makes you smell freshly-baked bread, see the new blade of grass, feel the agony of thirst or the warmth of a radiator on a cold day, then you have been affected by imagery.
