  3. Onomatopoeia • A sound word • Example:

  4. Simile • Comparing two unlike things using like or as. • Examples: “Her hair is as golden as the sun.” or “He’s sly like a fox.”

  5. Metaphor • Comparing two unlike things NOT using like or as. • Examples: “Baby you’re a firework.” or “He’s a snake.”

  6. Idiom • A common phrase that is not meant to be taken literally. • Examples: “It’s raining cats and dogs.” or “Break a leg.”

  7. Personification • Giving an inanimate object human characteristics. • Examples: “The wind whistled.” or “The trees danced.”

  8. Hyperbole • An extreme exaggeration • Example: “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.” or “There are a million people in line.”

  9. Imagery • An appeal to one of the five senses: sight, taste, touch, sound, smell. • Example: “The hot chocolate steamed from the cup tickling my nose.” or “The cat’s feather-like fur tickled my feet as it cuddled next to me.”

  10. Example Poem My life is unpredictable like the weather. I am a cloud floating to new heights. When the going get tough, I look at it as a blessing in disguise. I really enjoy spending 50 million hours with my friends and family. It’s like when your heart smiles, Ching! and you’re wrapped in your favorite blanket. This is me: figuratively speaking.
