Imagery as Storyteller

Often stories are told by what happens. But imagery can help tell stories too. This week we dug deep into Alice Walker's short short story "The Flowers" to see how imagery can tell a story.

You can read the story here: http://theliterarylink.com/flowers.html. Read carefully! It's a tricky story.

Make sure you understand the basic story elements: characters, setting, plot (events).

Then pay attention to the images and how they answer some questions you may have about what happened in the story.
