6. Personification The ice cubes cackled in their glass
Dinnertime Chorus by Sharon Hendricks
The teapot sang as the water boiled
The ice cubes cackled in their glass
the teacups chattered to one another.
While the chairs were passing gas
The gravy gurgled merrily
As the oil danced in a pan.
Oh my dinnertime chorus
What a lovely, lovely clan!

16. Hyperbole Friday11/4 Exaggerated statement for emphasis
Example: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.
My Dad
My dad is tougher than your dad.
He wrestles alligators every morning just to get his heart pumping.
Instead of eating toast and coffee for breakfast,
He eats the toaster and coffeemakers.
He doesn’t drive to work, he runs to work—ten miles a day.
When he gets home from work he relaxes in a hot bath of boiling water.
He prefers chewing nails to chewing gum.
And when he sees someone for the first time, he says “Hello, nice to meet you,”
So loud and fearsome people run away and hide.
- Bruce Lansky

18. The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways.
Preludes by T.S. Eliot
The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o’clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney pots.
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.

19. It was really cold outside.
My pizza was good.
It was really cold outside.
I could see the mountain in the distance.
On this slide, I am going to read these off and ask students if they felt anything. Then, I will tell them that these do not reach to your five senses. I will ask students to all close their eyes and listen as I read off a new description using imagery.
The baby was loud and woke me up.
The kitten was soft.

The Road Not Taken
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost
