    Figurative Language in Woods Runner: A Cultural Debate Yes‚ I agree that figurative language improves the understanding of the novel in Woods Runner. I reached that conclusion because the picture the words paint gives you an idea of what is happening throughout the novel. Firstly‚ an example of this is found in chapter 4 on page 27 where it says “Samuel smelled it before he saw anything. Not just the smoke from the fires. But the thick‚ heavy smell. Blood. Death.” and this adds to the way the reader
