First of all ... what images are being referred to?

Read the section that includes motifs and symbols. You may find help there.
figurative images
literal images
poetic images
Any images are those you can see in your mind as a result of an author's descriptions. If the teacher has not assigned any particular five images, then you are free to choose what you wish.

Think of the story and list all the "pictures" you can "see" in your mind. Jot down details about each image and note the page numbers for each one.

Let us know what you decide on.
