“Foam brightens like the dogwood now” is the example of a simile. A simile is one of the figurative languages that are commonly used in literary works, even in daily conversation.

EXPLANATION:

There are six figurative languages. You can see the explanation below:

1. Simile  

A simile is a comparison between two things using the words "like" or "as." Similes are very common in everyday language as well-known speech figures. The example is “Kate inched over her thoughts like a measuring worm.”: John Steinbeck, East of Eden.

2. Metaphor

Unlike simile, metaphor is direct contrasts between two stuffs or things which do not use the words “as” and “like”.  The example is "I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails...": Big Boi from Outkast's ATLiens.

3. Synecdoche

If you have ever called an entrepreneur "a suit," you call a car of other people "a set of wheels," or have ever been called "a hired hand," you have used a synecdoche, a literary apparatus which includes a part to indicate to the whole. The example is "10 Downing Street": The British prime minister's residential address.

4. Hyperbole

Hyperbole is excessive for the sake of emphasis, effect, or humor. Hyperbole is usually heard in daily conversation, often when people want to utter their position without being seen too directly. When it is applied in fiction literature, hyperbole can be a strong tool, enabling you to generate higher feelings, qualities, or actions. The example is “I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.”

5. Personification

A writer who uses personification gives human potentials to something that is not human. Personification is an effective technique to add interest in writing and can liven up the description. The example is “April is the cruelest month.”: T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land.

6. Puns

A pun is a wordplay form that uses words that have similar pronunciation or multiple meanings. Samuel Johnson, called puns the lowermost form of humor, whereas Alfred Hitchcock admired puns as the uppermost form of literature. Puns are everywhere, you may find them tacky, disrespectful, or very funny. Puns can add imagination and intelligence to the story when it is used sparingly. The example is “A little more than kin, and less than kind.": William Shakespeare, Hamlet.
