“Run!”
So I ran, and she ran, and nobody ran like me and my mom.
It’s weird to explain, but I just knew what to do. It was animal instinct, learned in a world where violence was always lurking and waiting to erupt. In the townships, when the police came swooping in with their riot gear and armored cars and helicopters, I knew: Run for cover. Run and hide. I knew that as a five-year-old. Had I lived a different life, getting thrown out of a speeding minibus might have fazed me. I’d have stood there like an idiot, going, “What ‘s happening, Mom? Why are my legs so sore?” But there was none of that. Mom said “run,” and I ran. Like the gazelle runs from the lion, I ran."
The imagery in the provided lines is used to convey the intensity of physical pain and an urgent, instinctual response to potential danger, creating a vivid impression of the situation.
In these lines, the imagery is being used to help readers understand the intensity of an experience, the feeling of real, physical pain and the instinctual response to danger. The phrase 'Bam! I smacked hard on the pavement' creates a vivid image of physical pain and sudden impact. Also, the phrases 'we tumbled and tumbled and rolled and rolled' and 'Run for cover. Run and hide.' give a sense of rapid, chaotic movement and nervous energy. Finally, the comparison 'Like the gazelle runs from the lion, I ran.' gives a strong image of the survival instinct in action. By using such vivid imagery, the writer effectively conveys the feeling of immediacy, fear, and the instinctive fight-or-flight response.
