Imagery is a literary device or writing technique that appeals to our senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell.
So, “It was a dark, stormy night” 🌌⛈ appeals to our sense of sight
“The cookie was soft, warm, and buttery” appeals to our sense of touch and taste
Etc. etc.

Image is just a picture or photo.
下面沒有跟原本問題有關係，但我覺得有趣：
“Imagine” is related to “image” because imagination usually involves visualizing images in our mind
