Question

The entire yard sparkled with diamonds of frost that quickly melted into millions of drops of water with a gentle kiss of the sun. The author could have said”The yard was covered in frost.” Why is this imagery more powerful?

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason behind this imagery being more powerful is that it provides an emphasis in the form of subjective description, interpretation, and comparison to express an idea.

Explanation:

Imagery is a stylistic device to develop a description based on personal perception using objects of reference to represent the one the author talks about to make an emphasis on its appearance. It is a very good instrument to profound in the description because it allows us to establish comparisons, taking as reference objects and events that are not connected to the initial idea.
