What are imagery quotes in 'Of Mice and Men'?

Answer 1

An example of an imagery quote in Of Mice and Men is:

"A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees - willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool."

~John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men (Ch. 1, Page 1)

There are many examples of imagery in this book, because the author can really see everything he is writing. Imagery is just when the author gets descriptive in a part of the book.

Answer 2

One of the notable imagery quotes in "Of Mice and Men" is George describing the dream farm to Lennie, painting a vivid picture of a peaceful and idyllic life they hope to achieve. Another example is the description of the opening scene with the contrasting imagery of the natural beauty of the Salinas River and the harshness of the ranch. These quotes help to create a sensory experience for the reader and enhance the mood and atmosphere of the story.

Answer 3

> When the narrator describes the bunkhouse

> Describing the pool near the start of the book (the one Lennie drinks out of but george doesnt like the look of)

When George describes his and Lennie's dream of their new life: this imagery is an important factor of this story and it shows the simplicity of early-American dreams and how small things such as freedom and a place to call their own meant so much to them. Understanding this dream will help guide the reader throughout the story and will also help you connect to the characters.
