READ THE POEM “FLYING KITE” ALOUD AS
IF YOU WERE SHARING IT WITH A FRIEND.
Flying Kite
Frank Dempster Sherman
I often sit and wish that I
Could be a kite up in the sky,
And ride upon the breeze and go
Whatever way it chanced to blow;
Then I could look beyond the town,
And see the river winding down,
And follow all the ships that sail
Like me before the merry gale,
Until at last with them I came
To some place with a foreign name.

 A figure of speech is an expression within a sentence
that departs from simple, normal speech to create
different feelings, stimulate the imagination, or paint
the pictures in the mind of the reader.
1. A simile is a figure of speech in which two different

things are compared using the “like” and “as”.

2. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which one object

is likened to another by talking about it as if it were

that other. It does not use “like” or “as” or any word
comparison.
3. A hyperbole is a poetic exaggeration that is
intentional but not intended to be taken literally.
4. Personification is an expression giving the
characteristics of human beings to an inanimate
object or an animal.
• Let us now talk about two figures of speech: the simile and the metaphor.
Writers make use of similes and metaphors to make their writing more
colorful, more vivid, and more coming to the reader.
• In a simile, the writer uses like or as . . . as to compare two (2) things.
Examples:
• Today, Lita is as bright as a sunbeam.
• A diligent person is like a ant.
• In a metaphor, the writer compares two (2) things by saying one thing is
another thing.
Examples:
• Today, Lita is a sunbeam.
