How would the paragraph be different if the author did not use figurative language?

English

Answer:

Most likely the paragraph would not be as vivid or engaging for the reader.

Explanation:

For example (and I'll try my best here) this is what the paragraph might sound like if it didn't have such figurative language:

<em>A</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>k</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>e</em><em>g</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>T</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>strong</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>d</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>b</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>a</em><em>k</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>s</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>a</em><em>c</em><em>k</em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>d</em><em>s</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>l</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>w</em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em> </em><em>g</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>d</em><em>i</em><em>f</em><em>f</em><em>i</em><em>c</em><em>u</em><em>l</em><em>t</em><em>y</em><em>.</em>

Remember, authors use figurative language such as metaphors or similes to paint a picture for the audience, or to get a certain point across. In this instance the author is trying to relate to the reader of the sheer power the wind possessed over the narrator's body.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

living life with a purpose

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson  in the poem "If I can stop one heart from breaking" presents her thought of having a purpose in the life. She discloses her thoughts that she would love to assist people in her life so that she may keep herself busy and occupied. Her help to other people may help her in turn by not keeping herself in 'vain'. She wants to bring some positive impact in the world through her actions and thought and this would help her in nit being 'in vain'.
