Figurative Language helps writers bring their stories to life. We have been studying Idioms, Similes, and metaphors.
Idioms are common sayings that don't mean exactly what they say.
Example: It's raining cats and dogs
Means: It is raining very hard.
Similes makes a comparison using the words "like" or "as".
Example: Her smile is bright like the sun.
Means:Her smile is beautiful and smile.
Metaphors makes a comparison without using "like or "as".
Example: You are a book worm.
Means: You like to read.
