Figurative language refers to the use of words in a way that deviates from the conventional order and meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colorful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. It uses an ordinary sentence to refer to something without directly stating it.

Figurative language is when you use a word or phrase that does not have its normal everyday, literal meaning. Writers can use figurative language to make their work more interesting or more dramatic than literal language which simply states facts.

There are a few different ways to use figurative language, including metaphors, similes, personification and hyperbole. See the table below for some figurative language examples and definitions.

Crank
When it was discovered nobody knew how to read Ancient Egyptian. Because the inscriptions say the same thing in three different languages the Rosetta Stone became a very valuable piece of evidence. Through the work of many people it took over 2 months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone had to say. The Rosetta Stone is a piece of rock that was written on and was made to honor an Egyptian Pharaoh. The Rosetta stone today actually has many locations and some are relocated today, mainly because it make sit harder to be stolen. And because there is only one Rosetta stone other museums have papers and other documents that describe what the Rosetta Stone is about. Also the documents discovered the Rosetta Stone on 15 July 1799 while digging the foundations of an addition to a fort near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta. It had apparently been built into a very old wall. The officer in charge, Pierre-François Bouchard, realized the importance of the discovery.
