Non-fiction writing is the type of writing that describes, portrays, narrates or tells the adventures, lives, happenings or actions of real normal people. The most common types of Non-fiction writings are: articles, autobiographies, biographies, essays, memoirs, nature writing, profiles, reports, sports writing, and travel writing.

Nonfiction writing employed in figurative language are:

Simile: A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison. It shows similarities between two different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws similarity with the help of the words “like” or “as.” As a result, it is a direct comparison

Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

Hyperbole: Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration as its main and most powerful tool.
