Metaphor
Flames can lick at something. Fire can consumefuel.
Figurative language is saying something that is not literally true, but makes a point by comparing two different things. For example, "We have it a roadblock," when you really mean some situation (not an actual roadblock) prevents an action.
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. == ==
In "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, figurative language is used to enhance the narrative's themes of equality and individuality. Metaphors, such as comparing the government's enforced handicaps to "a mask" that obscures true identity, illustrate the oppressive nature of enforced sameness. Similes, like describing the dancers as "like a deer on ice," emphasize the contrast between beauty and the constraints imposed by society. Additionally, hyperbole is evident in the extreme measures taken to ensure everyone is equal, highlighting the absurdity of such a quest for uniformity.

One example of figurative language in "The Kite Runner" is when Amir describes his father's eyes as "cold and glittering like the black ice in a winter night," which helps convey Baba's distant and unapproachable demeanor. Another example is when Hassan is likened to a sacrificial lamb, symbolizing his innocence and loyalty. Hosseini uses figurative language to enhance the emotional depth and imagery in the novel.

Two different types of figurative language are simile, which makes a comparison using "like" or "as" (e.g., "as brave as a lion"), and metaphor, which makes a direct comparison without using "like" or "as" (e.g., "love is a battlefield").
All metaphors are figurative (cannot be interpreted literally). If you say 'Mary is a block of ice', you take it as meaning 'Mary is an unemotional, perhaps cruel, person'. So metaphor is a figure of speech where words (here, 'block of ice') have figurative meaning, that is mean something different than they literally say.
