Example: Busy as a bee. • Metaphor: states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison not using the words “like” or “as”. Example: You are what you eat. • Personification: a figure of speech in which human characteristics are given to an animal or an object. Example: My teddy bear hugged me right back.

  8. Figurative Language • Onomatopoeia: the use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound or the sound made by an object or an action. Example: buzz, hiss, roar, woof • Hyperbole: an exaggeration that is so dramatic that no one would believe the statement is true. Example: He was so hungry he ate the whole cornfield for lunch. • Assonance: a resemblance of sound in words or syllables. Example: Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese • Alliteration: the repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words. Alliteration includes tongue twisters. Example: Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
