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)
In Kensukes kingdom on pg. 12 the metaphor is I'll tell you something for nothing he'll learn more in a couple of at sea than he ever would in that monkey school of his promise. It means that at sea he can learn more than at his school. monkey school is like a school of monkey. Or it could be the children that like to play on the jungle gym.
ReplyDeleteP.g.2 sentence 8 He called it the monkey school because they hung on to the play structure like monkeys. What type of figurative language is that? P.g.47 sentence 6 had heard howling. What type of figurative language is that?
ReplyDelete"It looked like an open-plan house than a cave-kitchen, sitting room, studio, bedroom, all in one space.". I chose it because it shows the details of the cave. Page 98, sentence 7.
