  1. Figurative Language II

  2. Metonymy • This is a type of metaphor in which something closely associated with another thing is named instead of the other thing. • Example: The pen is mightier than the sword.

  3. Synecdoche • This is also a metaphor of substitution. In this a part of the subject is substituted for the whole or a whole for the part. • Example: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day: teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. • Hop into my buggy and we will take a spin around the countryside. (Let’s get in the car and go for a ride.)

  4. Personification • This gives human attributes to animals, objects, or ideas. • The car moaned and groaned as it bounced down the country road.

  5. ClichéAn overused expression. As free as a bird Dead as a doornail Gentle as a lamb Happy as a clam Out like a light Sit on the fence • Slept like a log • Smooth sailing • The bottom line • The crack of dawn • The jaws of defeat • Toot your own horn
