Figurative Language Figurative language uses words in ways that mean more than the dictionary meaning. Authors use these devices to create a feeling or an image to make an ordinary experience seem exciting and fun. It makes reading more interesting!

Figurative Language We use figurative language every day. When we want to emphasis something, we may exaggerate to add emphasis. Since we use these devices every day, it should be a piece of cake to learn them

personification Authors use personification to make things that are not human seem human. Ex. The cat frowned. The trees whispered and sighed The sun smiled brightly.

Which of the following is an example of personification? The sun was bright and hot. b. The dog barked. c. The birds flew. d. The leaves danced in the wind. Remember the author uses personification to make a nonhuman thing seem human.

Which of the following is an example of personification? The cat hissed at Ronnie Reynolds. b. The Earth shivered and sighed. c. The candle flickered. d. I watched the willow tree.

simile A simile is a comparison of two unlike things, often using the words “like “ or “as”. Ex. She’s as pretty as a rose. He eats like a pig.

Which of the following is a simile? The dancers were as graceful as swans. The water was cold in the pool. c. The house was a mess. d. The mouse yawned. Remember look for the words “like” or “as”

Which of the following is NOT a simile? The water was like glass. b. The cookies were as hard as steel. c. The floor was wet. d. Her fingernails were as thin as paper.

metaphor A metaphor is comparing one thing to another without using the words “like” or “as”. Ex. Eyes are windows to the soul. My fingers are icicles.

Which of the following sentences is an example of a metaphor? Mike was as strong as a horse. b. The ladybug danced at my window. c. My cat's a lion. d. Katherine moves like a stiff robot. Remember a metaphor is comparison turns one thing into another but doesn’t use “like” or “as”.

Which of the following is a metaphor? It’s as hot as an oven outside today. b. She looks like an angel. c. Tom’s a giant. d. Kelley jumped as high as a deer.

Hyperbole - an exaggeration Hyperbole is an exaggeration or presenting something as larger or greater that it actually is. Ex. I died laughing. Her feet were as big as boats.

Which of the following is an example of a hyperbole? My mouth was on fire after I ate the hot pepper. b. My dad is a sturdy mountain. c. Sandy looked white as a ghost. d. Robert was as patient as a saint. Remember an hyperbole is an exaggeration.

Which of the following is an example of a hyperbole? The mountains reached their heads to the sky. b. I waited an eternity for my dad to pick me up. c. Our toy boat sank like a stone in the water. d. The storm was a monster!!

REVIEW Personification – giving human qualities to something not human.( this makes things that are inhuman seem human). Simile – a comparison of two things using “like” or “as”. Metaphor– comparing one thing to another without using the words “like” or “as” Hyperbole- an exaggeration
