In "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes" by Chris Crutcher, examples of figurative language include:

  1. Metaphor: The title itself is a metaphor for the protagonist's struggle with identity and loyalty.
  2. Simile: Comparisons like "his anger boiled like a pot on the stove" vividly illustrate emotions.
  3. Imagery: Descriptive passages evoke strong visual images, such as the depiction of Sarah's scars.
  4. Personification: Emotions are often given human-like qualities, such as fear creeping in.
  5. Hyperbole: Exaggerations, like "I felt like I could lift a car," emphasize the intensity of feelings.

These elements enhance the storytelling and deepen the reader's connection to the characters and themes.
