Before kissing my hand, he said his lips are pilgrims. He must mean that my hand is sacred!
“My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand / To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”
Use figurative language to convey emotions, create images, or make a strong point.
Figurative language wakes up your audience’s imagination and invites them to think about your words in order to infer your literal meaning.

Shakespeare famously invented two metaphors for jealousy. He called it “green-eyed jealousy” in The Merchant of Venice and “the green-eyed monster” in Othello.
Come up with your own figurative language (metaphor, simile, or personification) that communicates what it feels like to be envious (jealous). Write a paragraph that incorporates at least one type of figurative language.
Example:When the green-eyed monster took over my body, all other thoughts and emotions vanished into thin air. Rage coursed through my veins and a haze covered my eyes. Where before I had viewed friends and acquaintances, now I only saw competitors who needed to be flung out of my way.
