Issues:
* Vague: "Figurative language" is a broad term. Specifying the type of figurative language would make the sentence more informative.
* Ambiguous: "Patty feels about her characterization" is unclear. Does Patty feel happy, sad, angry, or something else about how she's portrayed?
Improved versions:
* "The author uses *metaphors* to convey Patty's *frustration* with her characterization." (This version specifies the figurative language and Patty's emotion.)
* "The author employs *personification* to illustrate how *misunderstood* Patty feels by her characterization." (This version clarifies the figurative language and Patty's feeling.)
To make the sentence even better:
* Provide context. What is the specific passage or instance of figurative language you are referring to?
* Explain the connection. How does the figurative language connect to Patty's feelings?
By adding these details, your sentence will be more informative and persuasive.
