Literal vs. Figurative Language Literal Language – You say exactly what you mean. You make no comparison, and you do not exaggerate or understate the situation.

Figurative Language – You DON’T say exactly what you mean Figurative Language – You DON’T say exactly what you mean. You DO compare, exaggerate, and understate the situation. You use similes, metaphors, hyperboles, and other figures of speech to make your writing more exciting.

Literal or Figurative??? Grant always turns in his homework. The water was rising in the river because of the rain. Her teeth are like stars because they come out at night. When she sings her voice is like velvet. Half of the class did not complete the assignment. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. Mike was so angry that steam was coming out of his ears. The zebras cried when the wise old elephant died. 9. I’ve told you a million times to clean up your room.

Simile Her eyes were like stars. Susan is as gentle as a kitten. comparing two unlike things using the words “like” or “as”. Her eyes were like stars. Susan is as gentle as a kitten.

Hyperbole an exaggeration so dramatic, no one could believe it; overstate to emphasize a point. This bag weighs a ton! I’ve told you a million times to clean up your room!

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Alliteration the repeating of the same letter or sound, especially consonant sounds….including tongue twisters. Miss Warren was worried when Wendy was waiting. Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Alliteration in Poetry A flea and a fly in a flue Were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the fly, “Let us flee!” “Let us fly,” said the flea; So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Her eyes were sparkling emeralds. Metaphor comparing two unlike things without using like or as. Calling one thing, another. Saying one thing is something else. He’s a lion when he fights. Her eyes were sparkling emeralds. My love is a red, red rose.

The angry flood waters slapped the house. Personification giving human characteristics to things that are not human. The angry flood waters slapped the house. The sun smiled down on us.

The coach was as upset as a lion when his team lost the game. Freddy French fired five fabulous free throws. The snowmobile was a rocket in the newly fallen snow. The running shoes danced as the runner neared the finish line. “Bang!” went the gun as the race started. Steven boxes in the light-heavyweight division. Spotlighting several special sports shows seems significant for TV. After the marathon, the runner was thirsty enough to drink the ocean. The golf ball walked gently into the ninth hole.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost 1874 - 1963 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  And sorry I could not travel both  And be one traveler, long I stood  And looked down one as far as I could  To where it bent in the undergrowth;            Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim  Because it was grassy and wanted wear;  Though as for that, the passing there  Had worn them really about the same,     And both that morning equally lay  In leaves no step had trodden black.  Oh, I kept the first for another day!  Yet knowing how way leads on to way  I doubted if I should ever come back.      I shall be telling this with a sigh  Somewhere ages and ages hence:  Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,  I took the one less traveled by,  And that has made all the difference.
