Adding _____, such as personification, similes, metaphors, and hyperbole, to your writing will allow you to describe a topic in creative ways to capture the reader's imagination.
Figurative language is a way of writing that implies a meaning other than the literal meaning of the words. For example, the personification "the leaves danced" does not mean that the leaves were literally dancing; it just means that the leaves were falling down. This is an example of a way an author can capture the reader's imagination. Figurative language uses non-literal meanings to paint a more vivid picture for the reader.
