Figurative Language is language used to convey something different from the word’s dictionary definition. It transforms the text from something simple and flat to something that is complex . Figurative Language This lively introduction to figurative language explains a broad range of concepts, including metaphor, metonymy, simile, and blending, and develops new tools for. Metaphor: A figure of speech stating two things are similar. “The book was a passport to adventure.” Simile: A comparison using ‘like’ or ‘as.’ “She floated in like a cloud.” Hyperbole: An extravagant exaggeration. “My backpack weighs a ton!” Personification: Giving human qualities to ideas and things. “Her stomach growled.”. We use figurative language to describe an object, person, or situation by comparing it to or with something else. For example, “She is as pretty as a picture” describes or compares a pretty girl to a beautiful piece of art. Figurative language is simply a way to add color and depth to what is otherwise a bland statement, “She is pretty.”. Use this as a quick reference for figurative language, literary elements, and literary techniques. Alliteration - The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words. Alliteration includes tongue twisters. Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.
