Identify the figurative language used in the passage and explain its literal meaning. Then describe how it helps you understand
the passage. As Tessa approached the starting line, she looked down at her legs, tall trees shaking in the wind. How would she ever get them to run fast enough?
I know it's a little late ,but I wanted to explain so the figurative language in this sentence is "She looked down at her legs, tall trees shaking in the wind". This is correct because it's comparing her legs to trees. Figurative language is where you compare two things without using like or as. If it uses like or as it's a simile. I hoped this helped so now you can find figurative language on your own =)
Answer:Dickinson most often punctuated her poems with dashes, rather than the more expected array of periods, commas, and other punctuation marks. She also capitalized interior words, not just words at the beginning of a line.
