Imagery is "the use of vivid or figurative language to represent objects, actions, or ideas" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/imagery), and Crane's powerful imagery is one of the reasons The Red Badge of Courage is so widely read and admired.
In your response to this post, please quote one passage from the novel which contains powerful imagery and explain what "objects, actions, or ideas" are being represented and described by that imagery.
In your response to other's posts, please make sure that you clearly and richly expand on their idea and perhaps even pose questions of your own which might further the discussion.
