Figurative language is language that conveys an idea or meaning in a way that is different from the literal meaning of the words. (Figurative language includes personification, onomatopoeia, metaphor, simile, allusion, and analogy.) Think: Why do authors use figurative language in their writing?
Write at least two sentences to explain the purpose of figurative language in writing.
Authors use figurative language in their writing to add depth and complexity to their descriptions, making the text more engaging and vivid for readers. It helps convey emotions, create imagery, and make connections between seemingly unrelated things to enhance the overall meaning and impact of the work.
