Figurative language Whenever you are describing something by comparing it to something else, you are using figurative language

Simile and metaphor Simile-> comparing one thing to another by using “like” or “as”. Ex: You jump from tree to tree like a squirrel. Metaphor-> comparing one thing to another without using “like” or “as”. Ex: You are a so agile! You are a squirrel.

Personification and hyperbole Personification-> giving non-human things the characteristics of a human. Ex: the dog yelled, “I’m hungry!” Hyperbole -> a gross exaggeration that is not believable. Ex: I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse!

Onomatopoeia and Alliteration Onomatopoeia -> the use of a word to imitate the natural sound made by an object. Ex: Bang! The door slammed shut. Alliteration -> The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words. Ex -> She sells sea shells by the seashore.
