Rhetorical Devices- Imagery

      C.S Lewis is known for using extraordinary Imagery in his works. The entire series of The Chronicles Of Narnia  is primarily known for the ability of C.S Lewis using imagery to picture the wonderful world he created. Some of the scenes in the stories need that type of imagery to get the full understanding of the occurring situation. " ... five satrys as red as foxes, the whole contingent of talking mice, armed to the teeth and following a shrill trumpet, with the centaurs came a small but genuine giant, Wimbleweather of deadman's hill carrying on his back a basketful of rather sea-sick Dwarfs who accepted his offer of a lift and were now wising they had walked instead." A simple scene of Narnians gathering for a meeting in the woods was given with such detail you could picture it to perfection. Another scene later on when Edmund challenged Trumpkin to a fencing match. "Both swords were out in a moment and the three others jumped off the dais and stood watching.... Round and round the two combatants circled, stroke after stroke they gave, Edmund flashed his sword round with a peculiar twist, the dwarfs sword flew out of his grip..." Or towards the end of the book when Aslan summoned the water god to take out the retreating Telemarines. " ... up out of the water came a great wet, bearded head, larger then a man's, crowned with rushes...." Imagery plays a major role in this book, nearly every page explains the scenery so well and you can picture yourself being there.
