1. Why do authors use figurative language?

Authors use figurative language to make the readers get the most similar feeling to the person in the story. Also they use figurative language for clear understanding of the character or a property. Like when you don't understand words then you give an easier word that describes the word. For example, in bible they use figurative language, which is simile, that Jesus as a shepherd that kept us from going in to danger. You know that Jesus is actually part of God. They both have the similarity of that they keep us from getting into danger. But some times we use them to make the next event much more interesting.

3. Find a metaphor for Jesus in the Bible and list the Bible verse.

4. What does this metaphor reveal abut God's world and your understanding of it??

I think these verses were the most influenced verses of believing in God’s words and his world. He was our shepherd by protecting us from dangers like Satan and his temptation. However not only just protecting us, he loves us all individually by listening to us, and does his best to help us (which mostly happens if the asking is not foolish). He tell us about how his word are important. He talks about him self being the son of God and sent here to save us from getting in to more trouble. He says himself that he is the Alpha and the Omega, the start and the end, the first and the last one to be.
