1a. Define metaphor and simile

Metaphors is a figurative language that uses comparision, it does not use as or like.

Similes is another type of figurative language that uses comparision, but they use as or like unlike metaphors.
1b. (10 sent.) Why do authors use figurative language?

I think when you use figurative language, it makes me literature more beautiful. It helps the reader to think more when they read. If you use too much literal language, it becomes less interesting for the reader. Because we limit the ideas that the readers can think of when they read literature. Figurative language gives us a better idea of the details of the story. For example, you say "I ate too much pizza, I'm full.", you don't know how full the authors wants describe. You only know that he ate a lot of pizza and he is full. But we don't know how much he ate, or how full he is. However, if you use figurative language to describe the detail, you can do something like "I had millions of pieces of pizza, my stomach is like a bomb that is going to explode". You know that he is very full and he ate a lot of pizza. Since figurative language uses things like comparison and exaggeration you can get a better meaning, because it you could compare things to what it is describing to get a better understanding.

3.Matthew 5:13
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men
4. There are many metaphors in the Bible, but I this is the one that I found in Bible Gateway. This was a confusing verse for me. But when I thought about what I studied I realized that this was a parable that I had studied in eighth grade. I didn't get what it mean during eighth grade though. So I researched the internet for ideas, it gave me an idea that salt might be describing you faith. This metaphor is explaining our faith. If it tasteless salt, it is useless. Jesus is showing us that pretending to be faithful isn't right, so it is the same as nothing.
