Question

Read the following statement “June cried a river when pa died,but even a river dries up from time to time.” Which type of figurative language is used in this statement

Answer 1

It’s a metaphor, June is sad that her father died and it’s saying that over time she will get better and stop crying that she won’t cry forever.

Answer 2

It would be a metaphor. June had cried so much when and after her pa had died. But you have to stop mourning a loss from time to time.

Hope this helps.
