In this power point you will learn about simile,
metaphor, personification,
alliteration, onomatopoeia,
hyperbole, and idioms.
What is Figurative Language?
Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language.
“I’ve just been as busy as a
bee!”
Personification
A figure of speech in which human characteristics are given to an animal or an object.
An example may be, “My teddy bear gave me a hug.”
Personification
The birds showed their joy.
Simile
A simile uses the words “like” or “as” to compare one object or idea with another to suggest they are alike.
An example would be “busy as a bee”
Simile
My dad is like a bear in the
morning. I leave him alone!
Simile
One way to remember a simile is that "a simile is similar or
alike."
Metaphor
A metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by using comparison.
A simile would say you are like something. A metaphor is more positive – it says you are something!
Example: You are what you eat.
Metaphor
He had a heart of gold
Alliteration
The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words is.
Alliteration includes tongue twisters.
Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.
Alliteration
Black bug bit a big black bear. But where is the big black bear that
the big black bug bit?
OnomatopoeiaThe use of a word to describe or imitate a natural
sound or the sound made by an object or an action.
Example: snap crackle pop
Onomatopoeia
A common onomatopoeia includes animal noises, such as "oink" or
"meow" or "roar".
Hyperbole
An exaggeration that is so dramatic that no one would believe the statement is true.
Tall tales are hyperboles.
Example: He was so hungry, he ate that whole cornfield for lunch, stalks and all
Hyperbole
An example of hyperbole is: "The backpack weighed a ton."
Idioms are phrases which people use in everyday language which do not make sense literally but we understand what they mean.
Example: Going bananas
