"Imagery and Figurative Language."

At first, I thought imagery was a type of writing you would use in a poem, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, imagery is a figure of speech such as like, as, or resssembles,I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was a language that is used to describe things, but I learned that figurative language is a speech or writing that departs from literal meaning in order to achieve a special effect or meaning, speech or writing employing figures of speech.The three main types of figurative language are similie, metaphor, and personafication.
