Medals will be given!! :3 Does/what type of Figurative Language is in this? “When you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her little eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children”

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

Yes there is figurative language in here.

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

Tongue is not actually twisted, saying your tongue is twisted is metaphorical.

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

Correct.

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

Don't say correct like you knew what kind of figurative language it was xP

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

It could also be considered cliché, but metaphorical is a better.

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

A cliché is not a type of figurative language.

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

It is, I guarantee it.

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

I bet my pants that its not.

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

I bet my shirt it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I bet that you are both right, and that you for helping me :3

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

No problem, anytime.
