Examples of Imagery:

“Her eye makeup was running all over my shirt front, but that didn’t bother me as much as the way it was running down her face in dark streaks. She almost looked like she was behind bars” (110)

“She had this groovy long dark hair with a sheen to it like charcoal—long hair with bangs just drives me crazy. There aren’t too many chicks who can wear their hair like that and still look good. And she had these big, beautiful gray eyes, dark gray with black eyelashes and the eyelashes were really long, but they weren’t fake. I am a long-practice studier of girls, and I can tell about things like that” (30-31)
