By Colby Elmore

 A simile is a comparison of two words using LIKE or AS. Example 1:  Looking at the whales face was like hanging upside down from a set of monkey bars. Example 2:  His temper was as explosive as a volcano.

Explanation: The whales face was very weird to look at.

 Explanation: He had a short, but very hot temper.

 A metaphor is a comparison of two words WITHOUT using LIKE or AS.  Example 1: -Chuck Norris’s round house kick to the face is a pile of needles pinning your face to the ground.  Example 2: -The train was an angry animal roaring down the tracks.

Explanation: A Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the face is very painful.

 Explanation: The train moved very LOUD and FAST.

 A sentence when every word sounds alike. Example 1: -Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Example 2: -Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout would not take the garbage out.

 Explanation: SEE!! ALL THE WORDS SOUND ALIKE!!  P.S. say that as fast as you can without screwing it up.

 Well… same explanation as slide 9 right?

 Words that are like BANG! BOOM! POW! SMACK! You know, your basic comic book dictionary.  Example 1: The bomb exploded with a BANG!  Example 2: He said the dirtiest word to his mother and SMACK! Went her hand across his face.

 Explanation: The bomb was very loud. Conscience: “Should I move out of the way?”

 He was punished physically for the dirty word he said. NO PICTURE

 Giving human characteristics to non human objects.  Example 1: -The waves of the sea were dancing as the wind was carrying it’s tide.  Example 2: -The forest was calling my name.

 Explanation: The Sea can’t really dance and the wind can’t really carry it’s tides.

 Explanation: The forest can’t really call your name. “HELLO! Nice to see you again!”

 A figure of speech used for exaggeration, emphases or effect.  Example 1: -“SQUIDWARD! SQUIDWARD! WERE OUT OF NAPKINS!”  Example 2: -“There's a monster in my closet.”

 Explanation: A low amount of napkins is not that big a deal.

 Explanation: The boy is exaggerating from that scary movie he saw the other night.
