Show transcript
Figurative language is words or phrases that are meaningful, but not literally true.
Figurative language can be used to create vivid imagery.
When choosing an object for comparison, you need to consider the atmosphere you are trying to create.
For Gothic descriptions, try to compare your setting to an object of fear or disgust so that you can unsettle the reader
Always choose vocabulary that contributes to the atmosphere you are trying to create.
