Figures of Speech
Roberts, Ch. 8 -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)"Figuratie language is one of the major components of poetry, but it also abounds in prose fiction (See also Chapter 9)" (121). Thank goodness for figurative speech-life would be very dull without it, and writing as an artform would lose a lot of its spirit.

That's an idea worth chewing on... and you can put that observation in the bank!

I agree, figurative language is essential to fiction. Without it, the beauty of literature would never blossom. ;)
