post A quarter 3 week 4 Figurative language

1. " [...] And the Home Secretary, a young man of thirty-seven, impossible to ignore, who from his inappropriate post, had pelted the Prime Minister during the crisis with ideas on naval and military strategy, all of them quite sound, had produced an astonishingly accurate prediction of the future course of the fighting, and who had no doubts whatever about what needed to be done"(51). This is figurative language because it is imagery. Even though it barely describes the man physically, you get an idea of how mentally savoy this person is concerning how to run a nation.

2. "Like a rapier flash came Fouch's reply" (49). This is a simile, hence an example of figurative language.

3. "[...] They might destroy the lovely loseness of the Entente" (46). This is an example of figurative language because it clearly describes how Richard Haldane feels about the relations of France.
