This entry will be focusing on
Why would we want to use Figure of Speech? Simple! it beautifies our language and makes catchy yet effective the message delivery to the listener.
We will going to discuss on the most popular FOS (Figure of Speech) which are "Similes" & "Metaphor"
Simile
The comparison is done directly
Eg: He is as brave as a lion
These are the links of lists of similes that you can refer to;

Metaphor
The comparison is done indirectly and in implied form. The word that is used to indicate something different from its literal meaning.
Eg: He is an ass (stupid)
