The Hunter and The Dove is a short story that uses imagery to describe actions to appeal our senses and stimulate the creativity. The description of sounds,colors, actions, smell are perfect examples of imagery

The use of personification, for example is one of them:

..."Then the king spoke to the doves, “You all did very well. Now, our next task is to free ourselves from this net. .."

..."The doves listened to their king’s advice. Each dove held a part of the huge net in his beak and all of them flew up together. .."

---"The mouse praised the king and started nibbling at the net to set free the doves. He nibbled off the net easily with his sharp teeth and after freeing all the doves, he freed the king dove ..."

Imagery is the term used for language and description that appeals to our five senses.

Examples of imagery in "The Hunter and the Doves":

Clutching and nibbled (These two words appeal to the touch)

Free and trapped (These words appeal to the touch, too.)
