Uddrag
In “Self Defense” by Samuel Wilkins, imagery is created in connection with the characters and setting. For example, imagery is used to take the fact that the house that Daniel chooses to rob is large and isolated.

I think that this implies to that Daniel chooses the house most likely thinking that the owners are wealthy but also that he will be able to rob them without alerting the neighbors.

Imagery is also created as Norman describes Daniel’s facial expressions. In my opinion this helps with Daniel’s characterization: “Daniel shot me an annoyed look”.
