Figurative Language

Figurative- representing by a figure or resemblance.

Figure of Speech- a form of expression used to convey meaning or heighten effect often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener.

Imagery-the product of image makers.

Trope- the use of a word or expression in a figurative sense.

They all have something to do with using better descriptive words so that you can kind of get an image of what noun is.
