Watch the video and write a 100-150 word essay explaining how the use of figurative
language helps build meaning and understanding.
Like for instance, the Metaphors. The phrase that was narrated in the video, “the long
sleep, the pain would never mar again” emphasizes that no one will any longer suffer which in
fact the long sleep means death to create a metaphor. Figurative language helps speak to a
reader's feelings and it is used to help readers utilize their senses to raise their understanding. It
can transform ordinary descriptions into powerful meanings and improve the expressive
implication of passages.
