7.) What literary device is used in the following quote, and how does it affect the story? "I was in love with the air, the smell of the grass, the warm light in the cottonwood trees at the edge of the field."
In this quote, Scott Carrier uses the literary device imagery. Using imagery paints a picture in the reader's head and really draws the reader into what it is they are reading. This imagery had a great impact on the story in which he was telling because not only does it lay out the setting, but the words make the reader feel like they are in the story with the author. When using imagery in this quote, Carrier put more emphasis on the story and got the reader truly involved with the book. When an author puts imagery into his story, it changes the story to something interesting and it gives it a sense of importance.
