Figures of Speech (Figurative Language) <Literary Notes Section>

Metaphor: indirect comparison made between two unlike things (without using “like” or “as”) Ex.: “My baby sister is a doll.” Simile: comparison between two things using “like” or “as” (“than,” “similar to,” “resembles,” “appears,” or “seems”).

Personification: giving a nonhuman thing human-like characteristics Symbol: a thing (object, person, situation, or action) which stands for something more than itself. Ex.: The American flag -> freedom/US; 50 stars -> 50 states Personification: giving a nonhuman thing human-like characteristics Ex.: “The tree danced in the breeze.”

Understatement: saying less than is true Hyperbole (overstatement): an exaggeration of the truth that is not intended to be taken literally. Ex.: “I had so much fun shopping yesterday that I spent a billion dollars.” Understatement: saying less than is true Ex.: “Wow, I just saw you fall of the roof! Did that hurt?” “Just a little…”

Irony: a contrast/discrepancy between what is expected/said and what really happens/truth Dramatic irony: the reader knows something that a character does not Verbal irony: what is being said is not true (like sarcasm) Situational irony: a twist in the story in which something happens which both the reader and character(s) did not expect

Onomatopoeia: a word that imitates a sound Alliteration: repeated consonant sounds occurring at the beginning (within) words Ex.: “Sally sells seashells by the seashore.” Onomatopoeia: a word that imitates a sound Ex.: “hiss,” “buzz,” “snap”

Apostrophe: addressing something that cannot respond (absent/dead person, something nonhuman, an abstract, etc.) Ex.: “Why you got to die, puppy?” Allusion: in reference to a statement, person, place, thing, literature, sports, TV, history, etc. Antithesis: a contrast of ideas expressed in a grammatically balanced statement. Ex.: “…wretches hang so that jurymen may dine.”

Synecdoche: a part of a thing that stands for the whole Ex.: “All hands on deck!” Idioms: groups of words whose meaning is different from the ordinary meaning of the words. Ex.: “Put a lid on it!” “Take a hike!” “Cat got your tongue?” “Don’t let the cat out of the bag!” “He came out the closet.”
