Figurative language is important because it is
used in so many ways in literacy. One way is
when the writer of a story wants to entertain
people by putting figurative language in a
story. They do this to show noises, or
something inanimate do a human
characteristic. So figurative language is very
important to literacy, and it’s fun.
