Figurative language is language that uses words or phrases with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It is often used to create a more vivid or impactful image in the reader's mind.
Some examples of figurative language include:
* Metaphor: "He is a lion in battle."
* Simile: "Her eyes are like stars."
* Personification: "The wind whispered secrets."
* Hyperbole: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."
These are all examples of figurative language that should not be taken literally.
