About this document

Understanding Figures of Speech by Mae Mallapre is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Figurative language uses figures of speech like similes, metaphors, and personification to convey meaning more vividly than plain language by creating pictures in the mind of the reader. Common figures of speech include similes, which directly compare two unlike things; metaphors, which indirectly compare two things by stating one is the other; and personification, which gives human qualities to inanimate objects. Figurative language adds color, interest and imagination to writing.
