{ Figurative Language Poetry Fictional Stories

{ Simile A comparison using like or as His feet were as big as boat s.

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.

{ Metaphor states that one thing is something else. It is a comparison, but it does NOT use like or as to make the comparison. Her hair is silk.

 The baby was like an octopus, grabbing at all the cans on the grocery store shelves.  As the teacher entered the room she muttered under her breath, "This class is like a three-ring circus!“  The giant’s steps were thunder as he ran toward Jack.  The pillow was a cloud when I put my head upon it after a long day. Simile or Metaphor?

 I feel like a limp dishrag.  Those girls are like two peas in a pod.  The fluorescent light was the sun during our test.  No one invites Harold to parties because he’s a wet blanket.  The bar of soap was a slippery eel during the dog’s bath.  Ted was as nervous as a cat with a long tail in a room full of rocking chairs. Simile or Metaphor?

{ Hyperbole A hyperbole is a type of figurative language. It is often confused with a simile or a metaphor because it often compares two objects. The difference is a hyperbole is an exaggeration.

Hyperboles “ Lyin Larry” by Shell Siverstein Larry’s such a liar-- He tells outrageous lies. He says he’s ninety-nine years old Instead of only five. He says he lives up on the moon. He says that he once flew. He says he’s really six feet four Instead of three feet two. He says he had a billion dollars ‘Stead of just a dime. He says his mother is the moon Who taught him magic spells. He says his father is the wind That rings the morning bells. He says he can take stones and rocks And turn them into gold. He says he can take burnin’ fire And turn it freezin’ cold. He said he’d send me seven elevs To help me with my chores. But Larry’s such a liar-- He only sent me four.

{ Hyperbole Example: His feet were as big as a barge. The hyperbole is comparing foot size to the size of a barge. Everyone knows that a barge is approximately 700 feet long. Imagine getting a pair of shoes that big!

 I could sleep for a year.  This box weighs a ton.  I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.  Your mother is so small she does chin- ups on the curb Hyperbole

 Finish the following Hyperboles… 1. The class was so boring that… 2. The student was so smart that… 3. I was so thirsty that… 4. I was so tired that… Hyperbole

Hyperboles “ Lyin Larry” by Shell Siverstein Larry’s such a liar-- He tells outrageous lies. He says he’s ninety-nine years old Instead of only five. He says he lives up on the moon. He says that he once flew. He says he’s really six feet four Instead of three feet two. He says he had a billion dollars ‘Stead of just a dime. He says his mother is the moon Who taught him magic spells. He says his father is the wind That rings the morning bells. He says he can take stones and rocks And turn them into gold. He says he can take burnin’ fire And turn it freezin’ cold. He said he’d send me seven elevs To help me with my chores. But Larry’s such a liar-- He only sent me four.

{ Hyperbole Activity: I want you to pick one of the following hyperboles from “Lyin Larry” and draw a cartoon illustrating it.

{ Alliteration The repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables

Alliteration “Garbage Soup Recipe” by Shell Silverstein How do we make a garbage soup? A little glop, a little goop, A cup of slop, a quart of bunk, Then half a tablespoon of gunk, A pinch of grit, a dash of grime, A half a skuzz, a squeeze of slime. Aha — it shall be ready soon… Did you bring your bowl? Did you bring your spoon?

Alliteration Angela Abigail Applewhite ate anchovies and artichokes. Bertha Bartholomew blew big, blue bubbles. Clever Clifford Cutter clumisily closed the closet clasps. Dwayne Dwiddle drew a drawing of dreaded Dracula. Elmer Elwood eluded elven elderly elephants. Floyd Flingle flipped flat flapjacks. Greta Gruber grabbed a group of green grapes. Hattie Henderson hated happy healthy hippos.

{ Alliteration Activity: Now we are going to work in pairs to replace words in the poem “Garbage Soup” to make it sound like a nice tasting meal.

{ Onomatopoeia Naming a thing or an action by imitating the sound associated with it.

Onomatopoeia “The Toy Eater” by Shell Silverstein You don’t have to pick up your toys, okay? You can leave ‘em right there on the floor, So tonight when the Terrible Toy-Eatin’ Tookle Comes tiptoeing’ in through the crack in the door, He’ll crunch all your soldiers, he’ll munch on your trucks, He’ll chew your poor puppets to shreds, He’ll swallow your Big Wheel and slurp up your paints And bite off your dear dollies’ heads. Then he’ll wipe off his lips with the sails of your ship, And making a bur pity noise, He’ll slither away-- but hey, that’s okay, You don’t have to pick up your toys.
