Imagery refers to the use of language that evokes vivid mental pictures in the reader's mind.
In the poem 'London', William Blake uses sensory language to paint a vivid image.
Sounds are important in the poem, such as the "infant's cry of fear" and the "chimney-sweeper's cry".
The use of negative sounds in the poem creates a noisy and unpleasant impression of the city.
Different kinds of language have different effects.
