This practice focuses on understanding imagery in literature, specifically how effective images convey meaning. Using the "Just as… So…" method, examine the impact of vivid imagery, such as the line "It's hotter than hell in here!" and analyze its effectiveness in portraying danger, such as with Spider-Man. Explore connections between hillwalking and frustrations, the contrast of "Big Smoke" in urban settings, and the transformation of city dwellers into a "mutant species." This exercise encourages critical thinking about literary symbolism and imagery.
