metaphor Direct comparison between two unlike things; one thing is said TO BE another Example: Her eyes were stars. Explain the metaphor in this song. John Michael Montgomery “Life’s a Dance”

Simile A comparison between two unlike things, using “like” or “as” Example: Her eyes were like stars. Write down as many similes as you can from this song: John Denver “Annie’s Song”

Her presence was a roomful of flowers. 6. His words are honey to my ears. 7. His car is as ugly as sin. 8. This class is a bear.

IRONY Contrast between expectations and reality – between what appears to be true and what is really true. 3 TYPES Situational – We expect one thing to happen, and the opposite actually occurs. Dramatic – We know something a character in the story doesn’t. Verbal – We say one thing, but mean the opposite. Listen to “Ironic” by Alanis Morisette. Is it ironic? Which lyrics contain irony? Which are NOT ironic? Listen to “Don’t Take the Girl” by Tim McGraw. How/why is it ironic? Which type?
