How does Gabriel Garcia Marquez use imagery in Of Love and Other Demons?

Imagery:

"'The only thing white about that child is her color.'"

"'Then I learned that I would have been capable of hacking them to pieces with a machete,' she said, not shedding a tear. 'And not only them but you and the girl, and my skinflint of a father, and everyone else who turned my life to shit. But I was no longer in any condition to kill anybody.'"

Marques also focuses on descriptions of unfamiliar objects and landscape, such as the addictive qualities of fermented honey and cacao and the mountains, hills, and jungles of the area.
