Imagery and Figurative Language

At first I thought that imagery was language that appeals to the five senses, but then I learned that this is right. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think that figurative language was a phrase used to describe something in terms of something else and is not meant to be understood on a literal level, but I learned that it is what I just said it is. The three main types of figurative language are metaphor, simile, and personification.
