Figurative Language means that you aren't saying something literally.
"I DIED from laughing!!! ...Figuratively of course..."
Connotative Language is showing the emotional connections to the word.
need - This item is required to live (water)
need - To want something (a toy)
They are similar because they both are the non-literal meaning of the word
I died :
- "I literally I died!!!"
- "Death makes me sad..."
vs the definition- a state of non-movement / the heart stops beating
