all i need is love is hwat figurative language

Question

 i need help with figurative language

Answer 1

The statement is a hyperbole. A hyperbole is an exaggeration.  Of course the writer needs more than love, but the lyric is a comment on how important love is to him or her. The statement is from a Beatles song. Take a look at songs you like and look for other exaggerations or hyperboles. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Figurative language is primarily used in poetry and non-fiction to give the reader a particular feeling.  The writer typically uses words that make the reader use his/her senses to find meaning and comparison.  The most common examples are similes, metaphors, personification, and onomatopoeia.  I hope this helps!
