Conclusion

Content: When you use metaphors in your work, it gives the reader a vivid picture of the situation in their minds. They experience the action as if it were a 3D movie. And even better, their imagination does the creation of the visuals, using the author’s words. Similes and occasionally analogies are also used by writers to help the reader understand situations clearly. Uniqueness
Writers love to be identified by their unique style of writing. Once they develop a style that appeals to their fans, they try to replicate that writing style in all their works to form something of a signature. Writers use figurative language, among other things, to achieve uniqueness of style. For comparison
A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an explicit or implied comparison between two things that are not related but share some characteristics which become the bases of the comparison. In other words, two objects that are not related are compared because they share one or more other characteristics. When you say “my father is the black sheep of his family,” you are comparing your father with a sheep.
