Identifying Figurative Language in Fiction It is said that the world was once Green. That water fell from the skies like the easy tears of children. Imagine. The brown earth was covered in a carpet of emerald threads, which drank this water, whispered in the wind and danced happily in the breeze. From it sprouted tall and bright colored orbs - as high as the sky and as bright as a sun itself. It makes me painful happy to imagine the world like that. Magda says that I need to wake up and live in the real world - the way it is now. Magda has the imagination of a cave rat.
