Figurative language uses comparisons between two unlike things through devices such as similes, metaphors, and personification. Similes directly compare two things using "like" or "as", while metaphors imply a comparison without using those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects. Other figures of speech include imagery, which creates mental pictures, and hyperbole, which exaggerates for effect.http://jc-schools.net/writeaway/figurative-lang-overview.ppt
