Figurative language is the use of words or phrases in a certain way to make the words or description more profound and colorful. Different devices help an author in putting more color to the words used in a story.
In the given lines from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the narrator Nick describes his cousin Daisy and her friend Jordan in such a way that they appear more 'beautiful', more 'graceful'. He stated that <em>"their [white] dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house"</em> which is not seemingly possible.
