Description of talk:
When Hamlet says, "Words, words, words," it is easy to miss the layers of meaning packed into this seemingly simple expression. Sometimes only a literal understanding of a text can take us so far. This is true for readers and writers alike. Join Alden Reimonenq as he teaches how using figurative language such as simile, metaphor, conceit, analogy, and symbolism can help to enliven the work, deepen reader understanding, and craft uniqueness in your writing style.
