Can you do an example of a figurative language?

Answer 1

A word isn't figurative. It's the use of the word that's figurative.

For example, blanket is a concrete noun with a literal meaning. So is snow. But when you say "a blanket of snow," that's figurative, because it isn't really a blanket. It's an implied comparison of the layer or coating of snow with a blanket because the snow lies over the earth the way a blanket lies over a bed. It is speaking of the snow as if it were some other thing--namely, a blanket. That's what makes it figurative--the opposite of literal.

Answer 2

Example: 'The brook was arguing with itself as it splashed over the rocks.'

The image of the water of the brook splashing up on the rocks and running back off again at the same time is being compared to two people arguing, words passing back and forth between them without waiting for the other to finish speaking.
