METAPHOR, SIMILE, AND PERSONIFICATION
Figurative language is language that is not meant to be taken literally. Authors use figurative language to paint an interesting picture for readers.
A simile compares two things using the words like or as. (He ran like an old greyhound. She was as quiet as a deer.)
A metaphor compares two unlike things by saying one thing is another. (The dinner was a three-ring circus.)
In personification, a nonhuman subject is described with human characteristics. (The stars were dancing on tiptoes.)
DIRECTIONS: Read the sentences below. Then, write which kind of figurative language appears in the sentence.
EXAMPLE:
As I read a book beneath the tree, the leaves whispered kind words overhead.
This is a personification because leaves cannot actually whisper - they don’t have vocal cords.
The tree was a skeleton against the starry sky.
Her eyes are as green as emeralds.
The school of fish was a shimmering rainbow.
The door groaned when I opened it.
