Answer 2

One example of figurative language in "Deep and Dark and Dangerous" by Mary Downing Hahn is personification. For instance, when the author describes the lake as having a "dark secret," she is attributing human characteristics to the lake, creating a sense of mystery and foreboding. Additionally, metaphors and similes are used throughout the book to enhance descriptions and create a mood of suspense and danger.
