The document defines various types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, oxymoron, and idiom, providing definitions and examples for each. Similes compare two unlike things using 'like' or 'as', while metaphors do so without those words. Other types include personification, which attributes human traits to non-human entities, and idioms, which have meanings different from their literal interpretation.
