Figurative language is describing something by comparing it with something else, like a simile or metaphor. In the story "Night," Ellie Wiesel uses, "Physically, he was as awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile," "The barbed wire that encircled us like a wall did not fill us with real fear," and, "As for my mother, she was walking, her face a mask without word, deep in thought," as figurative language.
