By: Alicia Randall 6 th grade Irma Marsh Middle School Figurative Language

 Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language. Any language that goes beyond the literal meaning of words in order to furnish new effects or fresh insights into an idea or a subject. The most common figures of speech are simile, metaphor, and alliteration.

Throughout history, writers use figurative language to help readers understand their texts and bring their text to life.

 A simile is when you are comparing two unlike nouns with like or as. Ex: It’s as cold as ice in here!

 A metaphor is when you are comparing two unlike nouns without using like or as. Ex: He’s faster than a speeding bullet!

An alliteration is when a fiction author puts an actual place in his/her writing. Ex: Kings Cross station.( Harry Potter)
