  1. Metaphors Lesson 2 – Figures of Speech

  2. Metaphors • Metaphor • Comparison between two unlike things that does not use like, as, than, or resembles • Example: • “The road was a ribbon of moonlight”

  3. Poem Punctuation • Run-on line • A line of poetry without punctuation at its end • End-stopped line • A line of poetry that has punctuation at its end • Tips for reading poetry: • Look for punctuation telling you where sentences begin and stop • Look for subject, verb, and object (if there is one) • When reading (silent or aloud), do not make a full stop at the end of a line if there is no punctuation – read to the next line to complete the sense of the sentence • Read the poem aloud – sound is important to its meaning • Read the poem more than once – each time, you’ll get more meaning

  4. “Folding Won Tons In” • Read poem on pg. 433 • Answer the following: • What steps does the speaker list as he makes won tons? • What does the speaker do with the won tons after they are made? • List all of the metaphors you can find. Explain what is being compared in each.
