Similes and Metaphors Grade 3 Bryn Siegelman

What is a Simile? A figure of speech, comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by “like” or “as” http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simile Examples: “cute as a kitten,” comparing the way someone looks to the way a kitten looks “as busy as a bee” comparing someone’s level of energy to a fast-flying bee

Why use Similes? Similes make our language more descriptive Similes often to add depth and emphasize what they are trying to convey to the reader or listener Similes can be funny, serious, mean, or creative.

More Simile examples…

What is a Metaphor? A figure of speech in which a term is applied to something that is not literal in order to suggest a resemblance http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metaphor Examples: The world is my oyster. This can mean the speaker is positive about his experiences and is going to do well in life. You are a couch potato. This refers to someone who sits and does nothing.

Why use Metaphors? Metaphors are a kind of analogy where two unlike things are compared but have something in common The statements don’t always make sense until you think about the comparison being made Metaphors make our language more descriptive

More Metaphor examples…

Similes and Metaphors The uses of similes and metaphors can be confusing to people who are not fluent in a given language because they will interpret the words literally. Similes and Metaphors can change from region to region, and even among groups of people, like musicians or teenagers.
