  2. Explicit Detail • Explicit: precisely and clearly expressed or readily observable; leaving nothing to implication • Examples: • Your shirt is green • It’s snowing outside YA THINK??? HOORAY!!!

  3. Implicit Detail • Implicit: implied or indicated but not actually expressed, although clearly contained in the nature of someone or something. • Examples: • A warm hug of fabric comforted her shoulders. • I squinted through the soft honey rays. • It felt as if rocks were pelleting my skin mercilessly. • I can smell Lakeside

  4. Similarities & differences EXPLICIT IMPLICIT “His eyes reflect the colour of the sky on a sunny day. “His eyes are blue.” “The grass shook slightly in the mild breeze, a sighing carpet of green.” “It was kind of windy out and the grass was green.”

  5. Group Work • Read the following examples of explicit imagery, and in groups of 3, rewrite them as implicit examples of imagery. Write your answers on the board. • Mrs. BHall’s loud voice is so annoying. • I get so hungry when I smell bacon. • Can’t you see that it’s beginning to storm outside? It’s raining! • I can’t tie my shoes because the laces are all knotted. • CLUE: • Think of it this way: • Most explicit imagery uses literal imagery; • Most implicit imagery uses figurative imagery and devices (similes, metaphors, irony, etc.)
