A common formula for a figurative expression is "as -- as a(n) --". The next few sentences are examples of figurative expressions. Helen is as big as a barn. Jake is as clever as a fox. June has always been as crazy as a loon. Elvis is as dead as a doornail.
Figurative or metaphorical language brings a nebulous concept alive and gives it substance. It allows the reader to visualize or associate something in the real world with abstract information. It leaves an impression. It adds interest and color to a written piece. It clarifies in imagery what words might never truly express. This type of language requires a little bit of forethought, but is well worth the time and effort. Readers always appreciate it and good writers are always looking for that perfect metaphor. This is the secret to making your message come alive with meaning! This may be a tough question. Let's just say it is a cliffhanger. Those two sentences are the same in meaning, but one give you a better sense of just how tough it is. The reason is the visual it gives the reader. Readers remember the material best when figuratiave language assists them through the dry and otherwise boring material. Without figurative language, the writing can be a walk in the desert. == ==

(The purpose in bullfighting is to keep the bull's head low when he is being fought by the matador.)

I've been told English itself is the hardest language to learn, but British English and Australian English might require extra help from their dictionaries.
Tropes are figures of speech or the use of figurative language. Recently, however, tropes have taken on the meaning of "cliche". Thus, the word "tropes" has been used in two sentences.
