IMAGERY
"...it was more that the thin woods we'd come through had ended, and now in front of us there was open marshland as far as we could see. The pale sky looked vast and you could see it reflected every so often in the patches of water breaking up the land." p. 224

Another thing I like about the author's style is his use of vivid imagery. When reading stories you never quite realize when someone is painting a picture before you. So when I stopped and thought about what blog to write next, I flipped through all the pages. Almost instantly it hit me how much imagery Ishiguro uses. Instead of just saying they went and saw a boat, he explained a fair amount of what all was happening in the scene and just what Kathy was seeing. Imagery is very important in this story because, a lot of times, it's hard to imagine just exactly the life Kathy is living. Without the imagery, the story would be unimaginably boring. In addition to his imagery, I really liked this scene. I think it is kind of cool -yet random- that they all got together and went to go see the boat.
