A verbal language feature is just simply communicating using words instead of physicality. Some examples would be similes and metaphors.
Figurative expressions are things like metaphors and similes. The expression "as lonely as a cloud" would be a simile while "my crying soul" would be a metaphor. (waylink-english)
I am looking for similes currently, but a metaphor is the little part where Bernadette is comparing Mama to a machine on page 5. Irony would probably be where Heidi looses her luck. Just read that area (I think its toward the end). I hope this helps!
I would imagine there would be. There are similes in almost any book you pick.
three examples of behaviors that would probably be unethical but legal
I think a great way to gain a better understanding of epic similes would be to take an English course. This way you'd have a professional there to not only teach you and give examples, but also answer any questions you may have.
In act 1, scene 3 of what text or play would you like examples of metaphors from?
To create atmosphere, to describe something elaborately, and to try to help the reader understand.Imagine trying to write about thunder. You could say "the thunder sounded loud in the sky," but that would not be nearly as potent as saying "the roars of raging gods echoed across the sky."

You're the only one who can "see" your characters, so our descriptions would not match what you are picturing in your mind. Similes will take the form of "as ___ as ___" or "like ____." You can compare your schoolgirl to whatever you wish in order to describe her fully, but you're the best one to come up with the similes and metaphors!Of course I can! And just to prove it here's one.Eyes as brown and rich as cream dabbed coffee, so swirled in warmth and sweetness that a man could drown in them forever.And how did you know I was writing a story about a lonely Edwardian schoolgirl with short bobbed hair and brown eyes?
All the similes and metaphors were intended to illustrate the serious condition of Israel at the time in which Hosea prophesied. His warnings, if not heeded would eventually lead to judgment upon the Northern Kingdom to which his message was urgently addressed. Since the nation in the north did not heed the message the resultant judgment came in the form of the defeat by and resultant captivity under the Assyrians, noted for their cruelty. The Assyrians also followed their usual habit of taking many thousands of people captive as slaves, most of these, if any, never to return to their land.
Three examples of a computer peripheral would be a modem, a printer and a scanner.
