How does Alice Walker use imagery in The Flowers?

Walker uses imagery to illustrate the image of an idyllic country farm, the poverty in which Myop lives, and the appearance of the long dead black man.

"The harvesting of the corn and cotton, peanuts and squash, made each day a golden surprise that caused excited little tremors to run up her jaws."

"Turning her back on the rusty boards of her family's sharecropper cabin, Myop walked along the fence till it ran into the stream made by the spring."

"When she pushed back the leaves and layers of earth and debris Myop saw that he'd had large white teeth, all of them cracked or broken, long fingers, and very big bones. All his clothes had rotted away except some threads of blue denim from his overalls. The buckles of the overall had turned green."
