1i celebrate myself, and sing myself,
and what i assume you shall assume,
for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

i loafe and invite my soul,
5i lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

my tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air,
born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
i, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
hoping to cease not till death.

10creeds and schools in abeyance,
retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
i harbor for good or bad, i permit to speak at every hazard,
nature without check with original energy.

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
