Such wind as scatters young men through the world To seek their fortunes farther than at home, Where small experience grows. i need to know how is this figurative language.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Figurative language can be found in literature and poetry where the writing appeals to the senses. It can do this by giving a word with a specific meaning, by comparing two things in such a way that you find the comparison interesting or by using words that have unusual constructions or sounds. Via google ^-^

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

So after reading that can you tell me what makes the poem above Figurative Language?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they use the wind scattering young men through world.... would that be a metaphor?

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that its not a simile, but they are using young men as leaves scattering through the wind

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Oh my I suppose you're correct ^-^
