Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Figurative language is figures of speech used to describe, compare/contrast, and create interesting pieces of writing in new ways.

Some examples of figurative language include:

Simile: comparison using the words "like" or "as"

Metaphor: comparison without using the words "like" or "as"

Alliteration: when a set of words uses the first same letter in a row

Hyperbole: over dramatic statement

Personification: giving non-human objects/things human characteristics

Onomatopoeia: words that mimic actual sounds

Hope this helps! :)
