 In the book Uglies, there is a good use of simile and imagery. A simile is a stated comparison between two things in different classes, usually indicated by words such as like or as. Imagery  is a sensory detail in a literary work (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell). In the book Uglies, a simile is used to give comparison to how the oceans water was "like a pale band of silver. (91)" By using the simile, imagery is incorporated  because you are able to get a clear picture of what the water may have looked like. Imagery is used a lot throughout the book so the reader is able to get a feel for the characters surrounding. For instance, " Tally took one last look around, taking in the ruins splayed out below them, the dark woods, the pearly strip of river stretching toward the glowing sea. (73)" The imagery used in this sentence shows that Tally is heading into trouble as it states she is going into the "dark woods", which gives us an imagine in our head of being dark, quiet and very gloomy.
