1. Mom said i don't know where you are going
2. My friend's Mom told her that she couldn't go
3. why can't we just go to the party she asked
4. because she said it is too far away

What is imagery? (definition)
Give me two examples of imagery from the following passage:
As the last seconds ticked down, the fans gripped their chilled drinks in anticipation. After the clock hit zero, the yellow and black suits stormed the green beaten field. They cried in excitement and exhaustion while they hugged teammates. From the sky red, blue, and white streamers danced down through the gentle smoke from the fireworks. The head coach was showered with freezing cold Gatorade that soaked every inch of his body and ran into his mouth and greeted him with sweetness. The look on his face was proud as he was clearly in disbelief that this happened to him-yes, he won the Superbowl.
