"Imagery and Figurative Language"

At first, I thought imagery was images, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, imagery is language that appeal to the five senses such as touch, sight, smell, hear, and taste. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was different languages, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are similes, metaphors, and personification.
