How does the author use imagery in the novel, We Know You Remember?

Imagery:

“The landscape opened out in front of him, green hills and low valleys. There was something comforting about it, like the gentle curves of a soft, warm woman’s body” (1).

“There was something about this place, an immediate feeling of familiarity. A forest road like hundreds of others, with weeds poking up in the middle. Rough tire tracks in the compressed clay, studded with gravel laid years earlier, flattened pine cones, and last year’s leaves” (13, 14).
