To help here’s a definition from ask.com:

“Figurative language is a word or phrase that departs from everyday literal language for the sake of comparison, emphasis, clarity, or freshness. Metaphor and simile are two common examples of figurative language, but irony, synecdoche, and personification are also examples.

As to the 10 words you need, that’s easy! Just read the book (like I’m sure you are supposed to) and write them down!

I would also suggest using spell check before you turn in your assignment: It is “language” and “someone”.

1) read the book

2) learn what figurative language is

Please use ADD DETAILS to specify where you’re stuck. If you know what figurative language is and you’ve read the book, what is your question? Right now, it really just looks like you are demandning someone else to DO your homework for you. I trust it was not your intent to turn in someone else’s work and pass it off as your own.
