Analysis
Regarding with the theoretical framework of how to build imagery – using the description suggested as an object like view, idea and etc. or using the words
or the simple expression including in figure of speech – indicates that Imagine has imagery inside which is developed from figure of speech used by the speaker.
Such was the case analyzed in further paradox analysis below could be grasped that the following lyric “imagine there’s no heaven …imagine there’s no
country ...there’s no country it isn’t hard to do nothing to kill or die for and no religion too…”
describes the refusal or critic of the speaker to the previous situation and all at one is a description of his daydreaming about the ideal world
suggested as visual imagery.
