Figurative Language

Figurative- expressing one thing in terms normally denoting another with which it may be regarded as analogous
Figure of Speech- a form of expression used to convey meaning or heighten effect often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener
