Are imagery and metaphor the same?

Answer 1

Imagery versus MetaphorImagery- Language that appeals to the senses (As I bit into the ripe, juicy watermelon, juice gushed down my chin)

Metaphor- A comparison that makes a comparison between two or more dissimilar things (Most of my friends are night owls;I am an early bird).

While imagery and metaphor are very specific language devices, metaphors often rely on imagery to make the comparison. So, metaphors can be imagery, but not all imagery are metaphors.
