Activity #2
9/28 Literary Elements: Figurative Language
- Figurative language is when words go beyond their literal meaning!
- Describing something by comparing it with something else
- Simile
A simile uses the words “like” or “as” to compare
one object or idea with another
Example: busy as a bee, You played like a beast.
- Metaphor
The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use
of comparison. A simile would say you are like something;
a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.
Example: You are a beast.
- Personification
A figure of speech in which human characteristics are given
to an animal or an object.
Example: My teddy bear gave me a hug.
- Alliteration
The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group
of sounds in a series of words. Alliteration includes
tongue twisters.
Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.
- Onomatopoeia
The use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound or
the sound made by an object or an action.
Example: snap crackle pop
- Hyperbole
An exaggeration that is so dramatic that no one would believe
the statement is true. Often used to make a point. Tall tales are hyperboles.
Example: He was so hungry, he ate that whole
cornfield for lunch, stalks and all.
- Clichés
A cliché is an expression that has been used so often that it
has become trite and sometimes boring.
Example: Many hands make light work.
