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.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

to try to find a way to stay alive

Explanation:

The fisherman asked a tricky question to the genius in order to save his life. He expressed his surprise as to how it would be possible that some so giant can be easily fit inside such a small vase.
