"pull it up, child, pull it up?" she picked up the limp sprout and squeezed her thumb up its tiny stalk. Microscopic grains oozed out."Why, one spring of nut-grass can ruin a whole yard. Look here. When it comes fall this dries up and the wind blows it all over MAycomb country!" Miss Maudie's faced likened such an occurence unto an old testament pestilence.
Imagery helps a reader better understand a story. It helps make a movie in your mind just from the words on the page. The signifigance of this passage is to show how Scout is finding a friend in Miss Maudie. Miss Maudie might be a lot older than Scout but they are doing something that young friends do together, and it sounds fun.
From this passage and the imagery used I can imagine a wrinkled vegetable looking object. Then I can see it being squeezed, and the things comeing out of it, I see a really gross picture. Out of that passage I was able to create a movie in my head.
MAYA
