I think dialect is the most important because it has to do with different languages. I think slang is the least important because it doesn't really always use actual words.

I disagree with slang not being important. We use slang all the time and it gives us a special language that no one else can understand if they aren't like in a generation. I like to use slang, because it helps me shorten texts.

The most important would have to be slang because then you know what doctors, sports players, and gangsters are saying and what it means. The least important would have to be alliteration because you don'[t really need that in your life and it doesn't really have an impact on your life.

I think one of the most important is slang because when your writing a story or book it can give you an idea of how the person or thing may act or maybe give you an idea of where that character is from.

I think imagery is the most important figurative language topic because if there wasn't imagery we wouldn't have imaginations, or dreams, or anything. We would be boring. We would be robots!! Also I just really like imagery it's kool with a K! I think the least important figurative topic is slang. I think this because slang is slang. It doesn't have to be a topic and I believe that it shouldn't. people speak slang big whoop, they don't have to make it a topic about it.....GEEEEEEZ!

I think symbolism and onomatopoeia are the most important because if your house alarm went off you would'nt here it and someone could break and your house and you would'nt know. Symbolism is also really important because you would'nt know which store was which without a sign. The least important i think is alliteration is just reapeating sounds.
