This week, be on the lookout for examples of Figurative Language.
Write the complete sentence, what it means and the page number.
For example, in Mr. Lincoln's Way the principal calls the students "his little birds". The atrium became much more beautiful when all the different colored birds began to visit. His comparing the children to birds is meaning that our differences create interesting and beautiful experiences.
"Fact is, all of you children here - with all of your cool differences are my little birds. Yes, my little birds." p. 22.
Here are the types of figurative language we have studied in class:
• metaphor – a thing representing another thing (e.g., a blanket of snow)
• simile – comparing two things using the linking words like or as (e.g., as sweet as sugar)
• alliteration – repetition of a sound or letter (e.g., the slimy, slithering snake)
• personification – giving human characteristics to inanimate objects (e.g., the wind
whispered her name)
• onomatopoeia – words that represent noises (e.g., whoosh, buzz, splat)
On page 29, in the second paragraph it says, "Havey was big and tough but she was out of shape, like the football player who was very good years ago but has mostly sat down since.
