are these sentences images:
1. their bare boughs weighed with snow
2. the night is darkening round me
or hyperbole:
1. clouds beyond clouds above me
2. wastes beyond wastes below
a bare bough weighed with snow is a tree limb so yes that is an image now the night is darkening round me is not an image neither is waste beyond waste but clouds above clouds is more of a metaphoric image meaning there are different cloud heights like stratosphereic clouds are higher than any of the other clouds
Yes, the first two are examples of imagery.
And yes, the second two are examples of hyperbole (exaggeration).
To determine whether these sentences are examples of imagery or hyperbole, we need to understand the definitions of each term.
1. Imagery: Imagery refers to the use of vivid and descriptive language to create sensory experiences for the reader. It involves descriptions that engage the reader's senses, often by painting visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, or gustatory pictures in their minds.
2. Hyperbole: Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. It is used for emphasis, humor, or to make a point more strongly.
Now, let's analyze the sentences you provided:
1. "Their bare boughs weighed with snow" and "the night is darkening round me" are examples of imagery. In the first sentence, the use of "bare boughs weighed with snow" creates a visual image of snow-covered tree branches. In the second sentence, "the night is darkening round me" creates a visual image of darkness closing in on the speaker.
2. "Clouds beyond clouds above me" and "wastes beyond wastes below" are examples of hyperbole. These statements use exaggeration to emphasize the abundance or extent of clouds and wastes. They are not meant to be taken literally but rather to convey the idea of an overwhelming number of clouds and a vast expanse of wasted land.
In conclusion, the sentences you provided contain examples of both imagery and hyperbole.
