Simile – a comparison of two unlike things; uses ‘like,’ ‘as,’ ‘resembles,’ and ‘than’ Example – Red as a cherry; Looks like a million dollars Metaphor – a comparison of two unlike things; does NOT use the words ‘like’ or ‘as’ Example – She is a treasure. He is a rock.

Hyperbole – when the truth is exaggerated for emphasis or humorous effect Example: I had a ton of homework; I have a million things to do Personification – giving human qualities to an animal, object, or idea Example: the tree danced, the fire ran wild

Imagery – words and phrases that appeal to a reader’s five senses Example – The freezing wind brushed my face; the smell of dinner was near. Onomatopoeia – the use of words whose sounds echo their meanings Example: buzz, whisper, murmur, vroom, squish

The tropical storm slept for six days. Her face is like a sunbeam. My mother is the moon. The rain seemed like an old friend who had found us. He’s a walking library when it comes to baseball. The tree angrily shook its branches. The baby was an octopus in the grocery store.

My dad knows everything about football. The pen furiously danced across the page. Shane was a toothpick after getting the flu. You look as pale as a ghost. The beagle flew through the air and landed like an inexperienced skydiver onto the couch. “I got an F!” she cried. “My mom is going to kill me!”

Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers Alliteration - the repetition of similar sounds Consonance – repetition of consonant sounds Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers Tongue twisters!
