Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Metaphor is an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things. Some examples of the use of metaphor includes;

1. My life is an open book. This simply means that you're being plain and honest in your communication with others.

2. None of the above.

3. Hair is a rat's nest. This simply means the hair is very messy and unkept.

Remember: a fluent reader thinks about phrasing. To read aloud smoothly, a reader groups words that go together and only takes a breath after saying the complete phrase. If you were reading from The Number Devil, which words would you say together as group? Check all that apply.

There are so many opportunities to make a difference in another person’s life. As life gets busy, we tend to lose sight of what’s important, like giving back to the community. Here are some ideas to participate in public service. Local soup kitchens and food pantries are always looking for volunteers. There are also many nursing homes that welcome volunteers. Additionally, many nonprofit businesses, like the YMCA, offer opportunities for people to donate their time. I have included many links throughout my blog that guide people to volunteer opportunities in their area. Think about how you would like to give back. Sometimes getting friends involved can make the experience even more meaningful. Get involved today; it’s never too late!
