Imagery

In the book that I am reading, called invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk, a huge element, greatly effecting the way the story is told is imagery. Imagery is "Visually descriptive or figurative language, esp. in a literary work." Imagery is very prominent in this book, because looks seem to be a value of many of the main characters, or their looks are abnormal and eccentric and in a world of fashion and vanity that they find themselves in, without imagery everything including their looks (which established several of their careers as models ) would be vague and hard to picture. This goes for three of the most important characters,  Manus, the ex-boyfriend of the protagonist Shannon, who is obsessed with himself, the mysterious Brandy Alexander, and Shannon, the ex-model protagonist who's jaw had been shot off, morphing her face, ability to speak, and of course career and the way others treat her forever. She becomes 'invisible.'
