Figurative Language
My interpretation of figurative language is the explanation of a certain topic subject that compares that object with something else that may share similarities or characteristics that the original object had.

Figurative language is like describing something using other words in a descriptive way.

Amber Lee . said...

I think figurative language is a way of changing something that isnt living, and giving it human traits. For example; '' My dog is talking to me. '' Its figurative language because dogs dont speak.

When you describe one thing to another but with more characteristics towards the subject or object.

Lii Lee said...

I think figurative language is a method or way of exaggerating, comparing or describing something or someone. Its often used in stories, an example of it is Personification , which gives a human action to a non living thing.

Figurative Language:

Figurative language is words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal expression, as in exaggeration.

A way of putting a deeper emphasis when you’re describing something by comparing them.

Figurative Language is words or phrases that aren’t literal, but have symbols that represent something deeper than if one was to use simpler words. It gives a visual meaning to a word.

To come up with new fashion designs is like playing fashion hardball.
This basically means it’s hard to come up with new fashion ideas. It takes a lot of thinking and time.

Jennell said...

The fashion world is a game of tug-o-war between the designers, models, critics and consumers. Everyone involved in this game are working hard to be the best and by doing so they drag each other down.

Sha-Rita said...

Why does fashion keeps tripping over race?

Joselin said...

The business of fashion is judgmental monster.
That in the fashion it people could be very mean and judgmental.

Jay said...

You have to Live, Eat, and Breath Fashion in order to get somewhere in the fashion world.
- You have completely love fashion in order to get anywhere in the fashion world. There is many competitive people out there who may love fashion, but fashion ahs to be your whole entire life. You will have to give up certain things or maybe everything in order to get where you want to be. There are millions maybe even billions of other people who love fashion , but you have to be the best of the best out of those billions.

The social media is what makes a retailer big and important and this to me means that it’s what holds up the retailer, or like the sentence says, its the table.

This means that being in retailer you need to be able to keep your game face on, know when to walk away and have friendly competition, because social media is a difficult way to get business out there.
