Imagery

In Chapter 26 of the Big Sleep, Author Raymond Chandler did a fascinating job at creating the ideal imagery description. This well written description mysteriously sets the mood and allows readers to feel with Marlowe as we read his narration. This description is interesting because it shows how specific a detective can be. The mind of Marlowe works in a very concrete way, hes observant and always on his toes. The chapter sets us up for the drama and action that is about to arise.
