Answer:

Sample Response: The author uses metaphor to make it seem like he is really creating lightning. The positive language makes the experience seem fun and exciting.

Explanation:

Connotations and figurative language were used by the author by

  • comparing a struggle to electric.

In literary works, figurative languages such as simile and metaphor are used to create similarities between objects so that the reader can better imagine them.

In the excerpt above the writer uses metaphor to compare two things that are not the same but have certain similarities. Thus, he paints the picture of lights being flashed in the room. The reader can imagine and relate to this.

Ordinarily, there is no connection between a fight and electricity. But the figurative language brings the description to life.
