Figurative Language

speech/writing

that departs

from literal meaning in order to

achieve a

special effect or

meaning.Slide2

Imagery

Imagery: language that creates a recognizable world

by drawing

on our

five senses.

Example:

The smell of the pine trees was spicy, the same smell as Christmas morning as you unwrap your presents.” Slide3

Metaphor

Metaphor: suggests a comparison by wording a

sentence as

if two unlike things are the same. The comparison

is never

directly

stated.

Example:

“But

my mother’s hair…is the warm smell of bread

before you

bake it.”Slide4

Simile

Simile: a comparison is directly stated using “like” or “as

Example: “They don’t walk like ordinary dogs but leap and somersault

like an

apostrophe and comma” (71).Slide5

Personification

Personification: language that attributes human

qualities to

things, animals, or

nature.

Example: “Looking smaller still, our house with its feet tucked under like

a cat

” (22).Slide6

Hyperbole

Hyperbole: A figure of speech in which exaggeration

is used

for emphasis or

effect.

Example:

“My grandmother was born when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.”Slide7

Alliteration

Alliteration: repetition within a line or phrase of

the same

initial

sound or letter.

Example: “One mother who is tired all the time from buttoning

and bottling

, and babying”(29).Slide8

Talking About Meaning of the Work

When you finish with your figurative language, write me a paragraph explaining what you think the

meaning of the work

is.

What lesson or message can we learn from Esperanza and her experiences?

Give specific evidence from the text that supports your meaning of the work. Slide11

When You Finish

Write your sentences using figurative language!

You must have one sentence for each of the six types.

Imitate the subject of your first vignette if you have it. If not, choose something that you can write about easily.

Put your six sentences into a vignette-like paragraph. You’re telling a story using figurative language!
