What are some imagery examples used ?

Maya says that when she was three years old and her brother was four, they were sent from their father in California to their paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Grandmother and uncle owned and ran a small store. Their grandmother's store is the center of life in the Negro community of the town, being the pick-up and drop-off point for cotton pickers in picking season. The vivid imagery of this era and its people come to mind.
