Figurative Language is a larger part of poetry, because there is allot of hidden messages and things you would really have to think about to understand. Figurative language is an easy concept to understand if you know how to perceive it. Memorizing the terms is allot of Figurative language and for me it is the hardest part of Figurative language. Most people think figurative language is only the ones we hear about every day, and most people exclude Puns, Oxymoron's( Pretty Ugly), Palindromes(Race Car), and Anagrams(nlbda-> bland).Figurative language is not really as hard as most people see it out to be, it is just that they don’t know when they are looking at it.
