Figures of Speech Figure of speech—word or phrase that makes a comparison between seemingly unlike things. He collapsed onto the grass like a half-empty flour sack. from “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst You’ll come across figures of speech—or figurative language—in poetry, in prose, and in everyday speaking and writing.

Figures of Speech Figures of speech are not literally true make imaginative connections express meaning in fresh and original ways often act as a kind of shorthand

Figures of Speech Some figures of speech have become part of our everyday language. We don’t even think about the fact that they aren’t literally true. He didn’t notice how quickly the time flew by. My heart leapt at the thought. She must have gotten tied up in traffic. His room is a pigsty. [End of Section]

Simile Simile—comparison between two unlike things, using a word such as like, as, than, or resembles. A lone oak tree stood in the front yard like an aged but dedicated sentry. The dew on the leaves glistened as brilliantly as loose diamonds on silk. That child’s eyes are warmer than the summer’s sandy beach.

Metaphor Metaphor comparison between two unlike things in which one thing becomes the other does not use a word such as like or as The flood waters rose, and the river became a ravenous monster. Raging on for hours, it consumed everything in its sight.

Metaphor Poets use metaphors to make the reader think about new ways of seeing things. What is the poet trying to say with this metaphor? My heart it was a floating bird That through the world did wander free, But he hath locked it in a cage, And lost the silver key. —from “The Prince” by Josephine Dodge Daskam

Metaphor A direct metaphor directly compares two things using a verb such as is. His ideas were a flock of birds in flight. An indirect metaphor implies or suggests the comparison. His ideas spread their wings and soared freely.

The old motorcycle barked and yipped before it started up with a howl. Today my mind is the wind blowing across rolling hills. [End of Section]
