Analyzing Figurative Language in Fiction
As the sun dipped behind the jagged mountains, a faint glow lingered like a whispered secret in the twilight. The wind wove through the trees, whispering ancient stories only the stars seemed to understand. Shadows stretched long across the empty plains, casting an eerie silence over the land. In this quiet moment, each breath felt like a fragile thread connecting the world to the mysteries hidden beneath the darkened sky. Somewhere beyond the horizon, the promise of dawn waited patiently, a silent guardian of new beginnings. The night air shimmered with the scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine, a scent that seemed to breathe life into the shadows and stir the soul of anyone who paused to listen to its quiet song.
