Figurative language is language that alters the usual meanings of words. It uses an object that is familiar to describe something that may be unfamiliar.

Examples include simile, metaphor, personification, etc.

Literal language is language that follows the actual or dictionary meaning.

Example: We have come to Washington to make our concerns known.

Connotative language is language that includes words that have additional images or emotions associated with them.
