Figurative Language in Ch. 5 With your group: • Look at the passages on the worksheet • Identify how the passages are used in context (find them in the book) • Determine what type of figurative language it is (simile, metaphor, personification, allusion, hyperbole) OR if it is imagery, which of the 5 senses is appealed to (sight, smell, touch, sound, and/or taste) OR perhaps there is a combination.
