Normal

Figurative language is when we use words in a creative way to make our writing more interesting. Instead of saying something directly, we use comparisons or descriptions that help paint a picture in our minds. For example, if we say, 'The classroom was a jungle,' we don’t mean there are real animals, but that it was noisy and wild. This helps readers imagine what we mean without using plain words.
