What happens if you don't pay your insurance premium for your car? \

Well, technically, you don't need insurance to drive a car. However, it is very important, and highly recommended. If you're vehicle happens to be stolen, or destroyed in any way, you have to pay for the issue out-of-pocket. That would really hurt bad financially, so without paying insurance, you're at a large risk.

The whale was a missile blasting from beneath the surface.  2.) a majestic whale leapt skyward before diving back into the sea.    these are both figurative language. this is so because the whale in sentence "1" was not actually a missile, nor was it actually blasting. now, for sentence "2", a whale can not actually "leap".
