Figurative language (the use of similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperbole, idiom) is all around us, but particularly in the books we read. By utilizing it, the author creates more vivid images for the reader and adds to his/her overall enjoyment of the story.
Look for an example of figurative language in your book today.
1. Give the title and author of your book.
2. Give the example you found (make sure to use quotation marks!)
3. Identify the type of figurative language it is. (simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration, etc.)
For example, I am reading:
1. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah
2. My example of figurative language: "My sister had cancer a few years ago, so I know the drill."
3. This is an idiom.
Now let's see what you can find!
