Figurative Language Definition

Figurative Language is language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. 

Hyperbole is a type of figurative language that depends on intentional overstatement (exaggeration). 

Metaphor is a relationship comparing two unlike objects.  A metaphor is a direct comparison, naming something as something else. 

Simile is a figure of speech in which two things are compared using the word "like" or "as.” 

Personification gives human qualities and characteristics to non-living things.
