Figurative Language: Understanding the Concept
You are using figurative language when writing goes beyond the actual meanings of words so that the reader gains new insights into the objects or subjects in the work.

One of the best ways to really understand the concept of figurative language is to see it in action such as with these examples:

Alright, the sky misses the sun at night.
The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor.
Hear the mellow wedding bells. - Edgar Allen Poe
Out of reach, I pull out with a screech.
I move fast like a cheetah on the Serengeti.
Her head was spinning from all the new information.
The toast jumped out of the toaster.
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
The Sea lashed out in anger at the ships, unwilling to tolerate another battle.
The Redcoats are coming!
I’ve told you a million times to clean your room!
