Figurative Language

Figurative- representing by a figure or resemblance
Figure of Speech- a form of expression as a simile or metaphor used to convey meaning or heighten effect often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener.
Imagery- the product of image makers, the art of making images, figurative language
Trope- the use of a word or expression in a figurative sense.

They all have to do with a phrase that describes something to make it sound more interesting. It turns little things into bigger things
