EQ 9 & 10

“The first baseman hit a bomb over the fence!” “The outfielder threw a frozen rope to the catcher.” “The pitcher was like a machine throwing strikes.” What are some other examples you hear at different sporting events?

Figurative language creates images for the reader or listener. Writers uses descriptions that are comparisons, repetitions, exaggerations, and imitations to make the writing more interesting and engaging.

There are 6 types that we will focus on:  Simile  Metaphor  Personification  Hyperbole  Alliteration  Onomatopoeia

Similes and metaphors are used to compare things that are not usually seen as similar. Metaphors imply the comparison and similes state the comparison directly. Metaphor “That test was a bear!” Simile “That test was like struggling with a bear!”

You are not saying that the test was a literal bear but that it was unpredictable and hard to deal with. A metaphor implies a comparison in order to bring fresh, rich meaning to writing (and speaking).

A simile is a comparison too, but it is directly stated. It is still non-literal language, but you still come right out and state the comparison. Similes have signal words; as, like, than, similar to, and resembles. Be careful because these words don’t always indicate similes. “I look like my sister,” is not a simile. To be a simile or metaphor, the comparison must be of essentially unlike things.

Literal and Figurative terms The literal term is what we are comparing to something else. It is what is real; it means what it is. The literal term in “That test was a bear!” is test. The figurative term is what is being compared to the literal term. The figurative term means something other than itself, something non-literal. The figurative term in the metaphor is bear.
