Figures of Speech Introducing… Click on the arrow to go to the next slide.
Introduction Authors often use figures of speech in both literature and poetry to enhance their writing.  Figures of speech present ordinary things in new or unusual ways.  They communicate ideas that go beyond the words’ usual, literal meanings. Click this arrow to go back one slide… Or this arrow to go  to the next slide.
Objectives ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Directions In the first section, you will be introduced to seven figures of speech and examples of each.  You must correctly answer a multiple choice question about each term before moving on to the next. But don’t worry – you’ll be given a chance to review and re-do a question if you answer incorrectly.
Imagery Descriptive writing that appeals to the senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing) Think of it this way: Definition: When a writer uses imagery, the descriptive writing helps create a picture or image in your mind.  Imagery = Mental Image
Imagery Example: The hot July sun cast an orange glare over the ocean waves.
Imagery Another example: The cool waves crashed over my feet as we walked along the gritty sand.
Which of the following is another example of imagery? (Click on a sentence to select your answer.) There is a white bird in the sky.   The delicate white bird flew gracefully through the blue sky.   I heard the birds and saw them flying. Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering.
Try Again Remember: When a writer uses  imagery , he or she chooses words that will appeal to some or all of the reader’s five senses.  Think about which of the sentences most appeals to your five senses.  Click the arrow to try again.
You’re Right! “ The delicate white bird flew gracefully through the blue sky” is an example of  imagery  because it gives the reader a mental image by appealing to the senses . Click the arrow to continue.
Simile Comparing two unlike things using  like  or  as Example: Definition: She ran  like  the wind.  Running and the wind are unlike things.  When you compare the speed of running to the speed of the wind, you are using a simile.  Explanation:
Simile More examples: The snow was  as  thick  as  a blanket. She was  as  light  as  a feather. You are acting  like  a baby. He felt  like  a bug under a microscope. His temper was  as  explosive  as  a volcano.
Which of the following is  NOT  another example of a simile? (Click on a sentence to select your answer.) He’s as messy as a pig when he eats.   He eats like a pig.   He is a pig.  Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering. Read the question carefully before answering!
Try Again ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Click the arrow to try again.
You’re Right! “ He is a pig” is NOT a simile because even though it does compare two unlike things, it does  not  use the words  like  or  as.  Click the arrow to continue.
Metaphor The definition of a  metaphor  is similar to the definition of a  simile  but there is one important difference between the two. There will also be two parts to the definition of a  metaphor . ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Metaphor  vs.  Simile Use the following examples to figure out the definition of metaphor. Simile:   Fido is like a teddy bear. Simile:   Fido is as soft as a teddy bear. Metaphor:   Fido is a teddy bear.   Simile:   That boy is like a pig. Simile:   That boy is as messy as a pig. Metaphor:   That boy is a pig.
Which of the following is the correct definition for metaphor? (Click on a definition to select your answer.) Comparing two  similar  things by using  like  or  as   Comparing two  similar  things  without  using  like  or  as    Comparing two  unlike  things by using  like  or  as Comparing two  unlike  things  without  using  like  or  as Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering.
Try Again Take another look at these examples.  Click the arrow to try again. Simile:  Fido is  like   a teddy bear. Simile:  Fido is  as  soft  as  a teddy bear. Metaphor:  Fido is a teddy bear.   Consider this…Are the two things being compared like or unlike each other?  Are there  keywords  that are used in one figure of speech that are not used in the other?
You’re Right! Although similes and metaphors both compare  unlike  things, metaphor do  not  use the words  like  or  as .
Alliteration Take a look at the following examples of alliteration.  You will later select the best definition for this figure of speech. Brad wore his blue and brown blazer. Hank held his head high. Larry loves lemonade and lolly pops. Six swans went swimming in the sea.
Alliteration Have you figured it out yet? Here are more examples to help refine your definition. Alliteration    Sue shook her silky silver hair as the sun was setting. NOT Alliteration      Elizabeth easily eyed an elephant in the elevator.
Which of the following is the best definition for alliteration? (Click on a definition to select your answer.) Repetition of beginning consonant sounds  Repetition of beginning vowel sounds   Repetition of ending consonant sounds Repetition of ending vowel sounds Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering.

You’re Right! Alliteration  is the repetition of beginning consonant sounds, such as “ S ix  s illy  s wans went  s wimming in the  s ea.” It’s important to note that not every word in the sentence has to begin with the same letter in order for it to be considered alliteration.  In the above example, only 5 out of 8 words begin with an “s”.
Hyperbole Think about the following examples of hyperbole.  You will later select the best definition for this figure of speech. My backpack weighs a ton.
Hyperbole Another example: The wolf was 100 feet high.

Try Again ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Click the arrow to try again.
You’re Right! Hyperbole  is a major exaggeration or overstatement.  Authors use this figure of speech to emphasize a point or add humor.  Think about many times in a day you exaggerate what you say and use hyperbole.
Onomatopoeia Start thinking about what you think is best definition for this figure of speech. Buzz Ring When you see this: You often hear this: Buzz  and  ring  are both examples of onomatopoeia.

Which of the following is the best definition for onomatopoeia? (Click on a definition to select your answer.) A word that looks like its meaning A word that sounds like its meaning A word that only describes animal sounds Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering.
Try Again Think carefully about the words  buzz ,  bang , and  moo .  Do these words   look   like their meanings? Do these words  sound  like their meanings? Do these words  only  describe sounds that  animals make? Click the arrow to try again.
You’re Right! Onomatopoeia  is a word that sounds like its meaning.  It can also be described as the use of a word which imitates a sound. Other examples include: screech, whirr, sizzle, crunch, bang, pow, zap, roar, growl, click, snap, crackle, and pop.
Personification Giving human traits or characteristics   to something that isn’t human, such as animals, objects or non-living things Think of it this way: Definition: When a writer uses personification, he or she gives characteristics of a person to an animal, object or thing.
Personification Example: The willow tree shook her long hair.  The example is referring to the way that the willow tree’s long branches sway in the wind.  By saying “shook her long hair”, the tree is given characteristics of a human.   Explanation:
Personification More examples: The car  danced  across the icy road.  The  angry  clouds  marched  across the sky. The stars in the clear night sky  winked  at me. The tulips  nodded their heads   in the breeze.
Which of the following sentences contain personification? (Click on a sentence to select your answer.) The wind juggled the leaves. The wind blew the leaves. The wind moved the leaves.   Click this arrow if you’d like to review before answering.
Try Again Think carefully about the choices.  The wind  juggled  the leaves. The wind  blew   the leaves. The wind  moved  the leaves.  Which one of the verbs describes something that only a human does? Click the arrow to try again.
