Content: Having an attentive reader read your work creates a higher chance of them getting the message and enjoying your work. When readers enjoy your work, they talk about it and refer it to other readers. Writers use figurative language to ensure that readers don’t only read and understand, but they find the work engaging enough to read to the end. Readers are exposed to tons of books and content online every day to stand out and hold their attention. Writers cannot use plain facts to write; they must add something unique and spicy in the form of figurative language. If a story began with the line the night was dark as death itself people are more likely to read on and find out what happened, than if the story simply began with the night was dark. To paint a clear picture
Clarity is vital in writing when writers write or tell stories. They want their readers to visualize what they are reading, and be able to smell, taste, and feel every part of the story. Using figurative language achieves this.
