10. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: IT’S LIKE A SIMILE – a comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as. Examples of simile: “Life is like a box ofchocolates.” “The girl is as beautiful as a rose.” “The willow is like an etching…”
11. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:IT IS A METAPHOR – a comparison of two unlike things without using the words like or as. Examples of metaphor: “My father is a tall, sturdy oak.” “The hotel is a diamond in the sky.” “who knows if the moon’s a balloon…”
12. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:PERSONIFICATION – the giving of human qualities to an animal, object, or idea. Examples of personification: “Hungersatshivering on the road.” “The flowersdanced on the lawn.” The winds of tropical storm Sandy yelled at my window all night long.

16. Satire What is it? Satire is a literary genre that uses irony, wit, and sometimes sarcasm to expose humanity’s vices and foibles, giving impetus, or momentum, to change or reform through ridicule. It is a manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions.
17. Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?
18. Two types of Direct Satire Horatian satire is a type of direct satire which pokes fun at human foibles with a witty even indulgent tone. Juvenalian satire is a type of direct satire which denounces, sometimes with invective, human vice and error in dignified and solemn tones.
19. Horatian Satire It seeks to criticize, rather than attack, immorality or stupidity. In general, Horatian satire is gentler, more sympathetic, and more tolerant of human folly. Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed to attacking a specific person or group.
20. Horatian Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?
21. Juvenalian Satire It is harsher than Horatian satire because it often attacks and shows contempt for people. Often, it seeks to address some evil in society through scorn and ridicule. The Juvenalian satirist approaches his work in a more serious manner and uses dignified language to attack erroneous thinking or vice.
22. Juvenalian Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?
23. Irony - a mode of expression, through words or events, conveying a reality different from and usually opposite to appearance or expectation.
24. Sarcasm (verbal irony)
25. Litotes are a form of understatement that involves making an affirmative point by denying its opposite. “Being tortured with fire must have been somewhat uncomfortable.” “Rap videos with dancers in them are not uncommon.“ “There are a few Starbucks in America."
26. Hyperbole
27. A caricature is an exaggeration or other distortion of an individual's prominent features or characteristics to the point of making that individual appear ridiculous.
28. Wit- clever expression, whether aggressive or harmless
29. Ridicule

Ice, the gang leader, said that Jose would have to steal a bicycle as initiation. Jose was hesitant, but Ice said, “If you want in, you’ll go steal that bike at the minimart.” He knew it was wrong, but he grabbed the bike and rode it back to Ice. Ice was pleased and said, “Great. Roll the bike off the top of that building.” Jose didn’t want to, but he was so sick of his brother getting picked on. Jose rolled the bike to the building rooftop, closed his eyes, and pushed the bike off. He heard the sound of it smashing to pieces and the gang chuckling. Afterward, Ice told him that he had hesitated too much, so Jose couldn’t be in the gang. Jose couldn’t believe he did all of that for nothing, but he was kind of relieved that he was leaving the gang life behind him. He went home to find his little brother crying. “What’s wrong, Angel?” Jose asked concernedly. Angel replied in between sobs, “My… my… bike. Somebody stole my bike.”

One day, Noodles spray painted his name in big block letters over the window of the local grocery store. When the store owner arrived the next day, he was heard to utter, “Oh! Thank you. How nice of you, Noodles, to spray paint your name over my store window like that. I really appreciate it.” He never got to thank Noodles personally, though he often wished that he had.
53. Identify the type of irony used in the following passage: Annie’s boyfriend Scott was coming home today, so she snuck into his house to surprise him. While waiting, she thought the surprise might be even better if she popped out of his closet. She heard Scott come talking, “You know I can’t wait to see you, Baby.” He must be leaving me a message, Annie pleasantly thought to herself. Then she heard Scott continue to talk. “No, she’s nothing serious. And besides, you know you’re the one I love, Katie.” Annie’s heart dropped. She grabbed the pepper spray from out of her purse, unlatched the safety, and felt her hand tense on the release button. Scott walked into the room, smiling and laughing as he flirted with Katie on the phone.
54. Identify the type of irony used in the following passage: Jimmy the Lock was a master safecracker. No lock could hold Jimmy and that’s why they called him “the Lock.” Now Jimmy was set up to get the score of his life. He had the blueprints all laid out to do a job on an armored car diamond delivery. Gathering up all of his tools and gear, Jimmy headed out the door to meet his contact, Bobby the Rat, but when he got to his car, he couldn’t find his keys. He patted down his pockets before he realized that he must have left them in his other thieving-pants. Jimmy went back to get his keys, but the door wouldn’t open. Jimmy the Lock had locked himself out of his house.

All over the country the message was heard: “Be like Swanson Wisconsin. Think up. Don’t get high.” One fateful December evening, Swanson Wisconsin crashed her Bentley into hotdog stand. At the hospital, blood tests revealed that Swanson Wisconsin had enough crystal meth, cocaine, and tranquilizers in her system to murder an elephant.

57. PUN A pun is a type of word play that creates a secondary meaning to a phrase by using words that sound or look alike, or have multiple meanings.
58. Homographic pun A play on words that have more than one meaning, despite being spelled identically. Ex. “A dog having puppies on the sidewalk is considered to be littering.” The dog is “littering” by giving birth to puppies, and also “littering” by placing inappropriate items on the sidewalk 60 seconds to write a homographic pun!
59. Homophonic puns A play on words that simply sound alike, rather than a single word with multiple meanings. Ex. “Why do we still have troops in Germany? Answer: To keep the Russians in Czech" This pun relies on the ambiguity of the homophones “check” and “Czech” when spoken. 60 seconds to write a homophonic pun!
60. Homonymicpuns A play on words which are both homographs and homophones. Ex. "Did you hear about the little moron who strained himself while running into the screen door?" This pun plays on 'strained' as "to give much effort" and "to filter". = 60 seconds to write a homonymic pun!
61. NOW Let’s take a look at the script for the comedy routine “Who’s on First” by Abbott and Costello.
62. Identify the type of pun used : Homophonic because “cantaloupe” sounds like “can’t elope” but is spelled differently.

64. Identify the type of pun used : You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish. Unless of course you play bass. = “Tuna fish” is homophonic with “tune a fish” “bass” (the fish) and “bass” the guitar are homographic because they’re spelled the same but do not sound the same.
65. Identify the type of pun used : Homophonic because “missed steak” and “mistake” sound the same but are not spelled the same.
66. Identify the type of pun used : Homonymic because he is “charged with battery” as in arrested for hitting someone and also as in he is fueled by an Energizer battery.
