FIGURES OF SPEECH

Figures of speech is defined as a way of saying one thing in the terms of saying something else. Many poets, writers, and inteligent people use figure of speech to capture the imagination of a reader; it puts an image in a person's head. Examples of figures of speech are: similes, metaphors and oxmorons. The author of Figures of  speech proposed an example of figures of speech with saying  "the diner leaped from the table and roared at the waiter," by using this vivid sentence, it painted the picture of a heated diner wanting to attack the waitor;using this sentence, it compares the diner to an animal. Many people respond more to figurative language rather than literal language because it grabs your attention.
