Name at least 2 examples of figurative language in the below lyrics from "We Don't Talk About Bruno" written by Lin-Manuel Miranda
In doing so, he floods my brain
Abuela, get the umbrellas
Married in a hurricane
What a joyous day... but anyway...
It's a heavy lift, with a gift so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family fumbling...
When he calls your name
It all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your dreams
And feasts on your screams (hey!)...
He told me that my power would grow, like the grapes that thrive on the vine
...he floods my brain=IDIOM
Married in a hurricane what a joyous day=SARCASM
Abuela and the family fumbling=IDIOM
It all fades to black/Feasts on your screams=HYPERBOLE
Like the grapes that thrive on the vine=SIMILE
