HELP ILL GIVE YOU 20 POINTS!!!! MAKE SURE TO READ THE POEM FIRST

Answer 1

Answer:

The imagery in "July" by Susan Hartley Swett does enhance the poem.

The images that Susan Hartley Swett incorporates into "July" are related to the natural world.

 The descriptions in "July" capture the slow pace of life associated with the summer.

Explanation:

It is mid summer and words like lazy and drowsy and murmur suggest a relaxed, content warm period. There is a great deal of imagery in this poem to help capture the particular moment and reinforce the theme. There is no doubt it is hot, "heat like a mist veil floats," but that brings about a drowsiness as in "slumber town". The repeated use of the phrase "it is July" intensifies the feeling of a rhythmic and sleepy lullaby.'

Side Note:

I hope that this information helps you in some way.

Answer 2

Imagery enhances the poem by adding detail and a sense of wonder and drama. This can be seen when the speaker says “When the Scarlett cardinal tells”. This creates an image of a fantastic bird, not just a regular one. Also, with the statement “And poppies flame in the rye”, there is a dramatic flare added. These examples add much more interest to the poem instead of just it dragging along.
