Read the passage from Pushing the Bear. I had seen white men when they came to trade. Sometimes they rode by the farm not seeing our path. Now soldiers were in the clearing with their rifles and bayonets. I heard their quick words, but I didn't know what they said. They seemed invisible inside their dark clothes. What is an example of imagery from the passage? “I had seen white men when they came.” “Now soldiers were in the clearing.” “I didn’t know what they said.” “They seemed invisible inside their dark clothes.”
