Introduction

We have been learning about stories in reading and writing for the past few modules. Often, authors use figurative language to help connect a reader to the text and help us understand or think deeply about a text. Figurative language is not literal. It can't be taken for its word. We have to think about what the author intends for it to mean and connect it back to our world!

A type of figurative language that authors sometimes use is a metaphor. A metaphor compares two unlike things without using like or as.

Metaphors and similes are used in writing to describe items. 
Metaphors are when you say something is something else.

Similes are when you say something is like or comparing to something else.
Metaphor - Time is money!
Simile - You are bright like a star!
