Marian stood enclosed by a bed, a washstand and a chair;
the tiny room had altogether too much furniture. everything
smelled wet — even the bare floor. she held on to the back
of the chair, which was wicker and felt soft and damp. her
heart beat more and more slowly, her hands got colder and
colder, and she could not hear whether the old women
were saying anything or not. she could not see them very
clearly. how dark it was! the window shade was down, and
the only door was shut. marian looked at the it
was like being caught in a robbers' cave, just before one
was murdered

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.
