Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)
Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.
So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect.
My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'
Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)

Answer:
The title of the poem "The Wound in Time" is appropiate because the poem was made to remember the terrible wounds war leaves. Even though the war is over, there would always be history as a reference of the death of people.
Explanation:
The author of this poem Carol Ann Duffy was asked to write a poem to commemorate the the centenary of Armistice Day of 1918. The poem speaks about war and how its ominous efects. Of how war has not been over, because it has repetedly come again. "What happened next?
War. And after that? War. And now? War. War." This passage refers how war is still there.
There is a passage were the author claims how the sacrifice of all the death soldiers were not enough to learn that war is not a solution.
"History might as well be water, chastising this shore;
for we learn nothing from your endless sacrifice."
The whole poem talks about how war lives a wound in time, it can never be erased what happened.
The main central idea found in primary sources from colonists and enslaved Africans is freedom. Even though freedom is the primary notion of the United States, enslaving Africans are contrary to it. Another idea that rose was the increase of plantations in South America.
