Metaphor, simile, and personification are forms of figurative language that enhance meaning and create vivid imagery in writing.

Metaphor: A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things, such as 'Hope is the thing with feathers.'

Simile: A simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as,' like 'Life is like a box of chocolates.'

Personification: Personification gives human characteristics to non-human entities, like 'The dog nodded in agreement.'
