Learning Objective
I can identify examples of similes, personification, and metaphors in sentences.
- 1
Figurative language uses non-literal expressions to convey meaning, such as saying "a bear of a lesson" to mean a difficult lesson.
- 2
A simile compares two things using "like" or "as," while a metaphor compares two things directly without using "like" or "as."
- 3
Personification is when you give human characteristics to non-living things, and an allusion is a reference to a character or event from literature, movies, or culture.
