Figurative language uses words in non-literal ways through devices like similes, metaphors, and personification. A simile directly compares two things using "like" or "as", a metaphor states one thing "is" something else, and personification gives human qualities to non-human things. Figurative language contrasts with literal language, which describes something exactly as it is.
