Presentation transcript:

Figurative Language Figurative language is a tool that an author uses to help the reader visualize what is happening in a story or poem. Figurative language is meant to be interpreted imaginatively not literally.

Types of Literary Devices Simile Metaphor Personification Irony Alliteration Paradox Hyperbole

Simile A figure of speech that compares two dissimilar things by using the key words “like” or “as”. Examples: Her feet felt like ice Dead as a doornail

Examples of Simile

Metaphor A metaphor is a figure of speech that identifies something as being the same as some unrelated thing for rhetorical effect, thus highlighting the similarities between the two. Does not use “Like” or “as”. Examples: Blanket of darkness

Examples of metaphor

Hyperbole A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration used to make a point. It is like the opposite of “understatement.” It is from a Hyperboles can be found in literature and oral communication. Examples: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.

Examples from videos Video of hyperbole from songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGXM3oF4 FWU

Personification Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are given to animals, objects or ideas. It is the opposite of a metaphor but is very similar. In the arts, personification means representing a non-human thing as if it were human.

Examples: The leaves danced in the autumn wind. The lightening lashed out with anger. CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER EXAMPLES??
