Books are apart of every day life even if you’re reading flyers or the newspaper its still a type of book. in most books people use figurative language to help enrich the writing and make it more enjoyable for the reader.

That helped me see the scene while also being funny. Hyperboles can also be used to add humor to the situation, and to what the character is saying, ”they weren't just big, they were almost prehistoric”.

I like idioms the most out of figurative language because it's changing the way you would normally write things. In harris and me there is one idiom the is used the most and its “watch your tongue”. Its because harris always says swear words, then gets smacked. Idioms like those are used to change up the writing and still get the point across, like “when he stopped dead”.

Gary pulsen, the author, uses figurative language to help enrich the story and make it easier to read. I really liked this book because figurative language made it a fun book to read. I would encourage other people to read harris and
