Metaphors and Similes Figurative Language Sixth Grade Standards: R3.4 R1.2

Introduction Writers use words and phrases to create mental pictures, or images, in reader’s minds. Writer’s create clear and powerful images through Figurative language. Many Poet’s use figurative language. Figurative language is made up of words or phrases that present ordinary things in new and unusual ways. Similes and Metaphors are types of figurative language. Readers who do not understand figurative language will not be able to understand the meaning of poems.

What is a Simile? A simile is a comparison of two things that have something in common. A simile usually contains the word like or as.

Examples of a Simile Playing chess with Ashley is like trying to outsmart a computer. The activity “playing chess with Ashley” is being compared to “trying to outsmart a computer.” The point is that Ashley can think in a powerful manner that resembles the way a computer operates.

What is a Metaphor? A metaphor is another kind of comparison. A metaphor does not contain the word like or as. Instead, it states that one thing actually is something else.

Examples of Metaphors Her eyes are emeralds. When Chris ran, he was a speeding bullet racing along the track.

The trees are like a canopy protecting the road.

Similes in Poetry Willow and Ginkgo Eve Merriam The willow is like an etching, Fine-lined against the sky. The ginkgo is like a crude sketch, Hardly worthy to be signed. The willow’s music is like a soprano, Delicate and thin. The ginkgo’s tune is like a chorus With everyone joining in. The willow is sleek as a velvet-nosed calf; The ginkgo is leathery as an old bull. The willow’s branches are like silken thread; The ginkgo’s like stubby rough wool.
