In Bud, Not Buddy, we see the world through the eyes of our narrator, Bud. The way he describes the world tells us a bit about who he is as a character, too. In this assignment, we will focus on figurative language that tells us more about the text.Figurative language is language that is not literal, or exactly accurate, but instead appeals to the senses by describing something in an unlikely way. Examples are metaphors, similes, hyperboles, and personifications. These can make writing more persuasive, effective, or impactful.
