Presentation transcript:

Their Eyes were watching god Standards focus: figurative language

Figurative language In order to enhance a piece of literature, writers will often use figurative language, or figures of speech. Figures of speech-language that communicates ideas beyond the literal meaning of words. There are many types of figures of speech: allegory, irony, hyperbole, etc. For the purpose of this exercise, we will focus on three types of figures of speech. Metaphor-a comparison between two seemingly unlike things Simile-a comparison of things of using like or as Personification-giving human qualities or characteristics to inhuman objects

Activity 1 For each of the examples, indicate which figure of speech is being is used, then analyze the example to find the meaning. EX: “Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered” Figure of Speech: simile Analysis: The author is comparing Janie’s life to a blooming tree. Like the tree which is growing new leaves, Janie is also growing, learning more, and discovering who she is as a woman.

Activity 1 For each of the examples, indicate which figure of speech is being is used, then analyze the example to find the meaning “The rose of the world was breathing out smell. It followed her through all her waking moments and caressed her in her sleep” “The panting breath of the breeze” “Nanny’s head and face looked like the standing roots of some old tree that had been torn away by storm” “Nanny’s words made Janie’s kiss across the gatepost seem like a manure pile after a rain” “Put me down easy, Janie, Ah’m a cracked plate”
