Figurative Language
I like figurative language because there are so many types of it. You can use all different kinds of figures of speech to make your writing sound good. Also, because there are so many types so you don’t have to just use one type, you can use all!!
I don’t like figurative language because there are so many types and you have to memorize them all. But, eventually I will.
Making this PowerPoint I even learned how to spell “Onomatopoeia!”
