Figurative language is similes, metaphors, and imagery's.
Similes- He was as happy as a clown. She was as sweet as pie. He was as hungry as a lion.
Metaphors- You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one.
Imagery's- He smelled like rotten fish. I see that her stomach is as round as a bowling ball. Her voice sounded like nails on a chalk board. A.D.
Figurative Language is a sentince that has the lettirs like and as.Like this sentince(my hair is like silk).
Figurative language is when you are comparing 2 things like animals, people, and story book people.cmp
