LITERATURE AND POETRY TO ENHANCE THEIR
WRITING.

THEY COMMUNICATE IDEAS THAT GO BEYOND
THE WORDS’ USUAL, LITERAL MEANINGS.

INCORRECTLY.
 Imagery
Definition:
DESCRIPTIVE WRITING THAT APPEALS TO THE SENSES (SIGHT, TASTE,
TOUCH, SMELL, AND HEARING)

Think of it this way:

When a writer uses imagery, the descriptive
writing helps create a picture or image in
your mind.

Imagery = Mental Image

 Imagery
Example:
The hot July sun cast an orange glare over
the ocean waves.
 Imagery
Another example:
The cool waves crashed over my feet as we
walked along the gritty sand.
Which of the following is another
example of imagery?
(Click on a sentence to select your answer.)

There is a white bird in the sky.

The delicate white bird flew gracefully through

the blue sky.

I heard the birds and saw them flying.

REMEMBER: WHEN A WRITER USES IMAGERY, HE OR SHE CHOOSES
WORDS THAT WILL APPEAL TO SOME OR ALL OF THE READER’S FIVE
SENSES.

THINK ABOUT WHICH OF THE SENTENCES MOST APPEALS TO YOUR

FIVE SENSES.

Click the arrow to try again.

You’re Right!
“THE DELICATE WHITE BIRD FLEW GRACEFULLY
THROUGH THE BLUE SKY” IS AN EXAMPLE OF
IMAGERY BECAUSE IT GIVES THE READER A
MENTAL IMAGE BY APPEALING TO THE SENSES.

 Simile
Definition:
COMPARING TWO UNLIKE THINGS USING LIKE OR AS

Example:
She ran like the wind.

Explanation:
Running and the wind are unlike things.
When you compare the speed of running
to the speed of the wind, you are using
a simile.
 Simile
More examples:
The snow was as thick as a blanket.

She was as light as a feather.

You are acting like a baby.

He felt like a bug under a microscope.

His temper was as explosive as a volcano.

Which of the following is NOT
another example of a simile?
(Click on a sentence to select your answer.)

He’s as messy as a pig when he eats.

He eats like a pig.

He is a pig. Read the question

carefully before
answering!

review before answering.
Try Again
WHEN A WRITER USES SIMILE…

•Two unlike things are being compared

•The words like or as are being used to make the comparison

Click the arrow to try again.

You’re Right!
“HE IS A PIG” IS NOT A SIMILE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT DOES
COMPARE TWO UNLIKE THINGS, IT DOES NOT USE THE WORDS
LIKE OR AS.

Click the arrow

to continue.
 Metaphor
THE DEFINITION OF A METAPHOR IS SIMILAR TO
THE DEFINITION OF A SIMILE BUT THERE IS ONE
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

Remember the definition of simile has two parts:

•Two unlike things are being compared
•The words like or as are used to make the comparison

There will also be two parts to the definition of a

metaphor.
 Metaphor vs. Simile
USE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES TO FIGURE OUT THE DEFINITION OF
METAPHOR.

Simile: Fido is like a teddy bear.

Simile: Fido is as soft as a teddy bear.
Metaphor: Fido is a teddy bear.

Simile: That boy is like a pig.

Simile: That boy is as messy as a pig.
Metaphor: That boy is a pig.
Which of the following is the correct
definition for metaphor?
(Click on a definition to select your answer.)

Comparing two similar things by using like or as

Comparing two similar things without using like or as

Comparing two unlike things by using like or as

Comparing two unlike things without using like or as

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THESE EXAMPLES.
Simile: Fido is like a teddy bear.
Simile: Fido is as soft as a teddy bear.
Metaphor: Fido is a teddy bear.

Consider this…Are the two things being compared like

or unlike each other? Are there keywords that are
used in one figure of speech that are not used in the
other?
Click the arrow to try again.
You’re Right!
ALTHOUGH SIMILES AND METAPHORS
BOTH COMPARE UNLIKE THINGS,
METAPHOR DO NOT USE THE WORDS
LIKE OR AS.
 Alliteration
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES OF
ALLITERATION. YOU WILL LATER SELECT THE BEST
DEFINITION FOR THIS FIGURE OF SPEECH.

Brad wore his blue and brown blazer.

Hank held his head high.
Larry loves lemonade and lolly pops.
Six swans went swimming in the sea.
 Alliteration
Have you figured it out yet?
Here are more examples to help refine your
definition.
Alliteration  Sue shook her silky silver hair
as the sun was setting.
NOT Alliteration  Elizabeth easily eyed an
elephant in the elevator.
Which of the following is the best
definition for alliteration?
(Click on a definition to select your answer.)

Repetition of beginning consonant sounds

Repetition of beginning vowel sounds

Repetition of ending consonant sounds

Repetition of ending vowel sounds

Click this arrow if you’d like

to review before answering.
Try Again
LOOK AT THIS EXAMPLE AGAIN.

Six swans went swimming in the sea.

THINK ABOUT WHAT IS REPEATING.
IS IT A CONSONANT SOUND OR A VOWEL SOUND?
IS IT AT THE BEGINNING OR END OF THE WORDS?

Click the arrow to try again.

You’re Right!
ALLITERATION IS THE REPETITION OF BEGINNING CONSONANT
SOUNDS, SUCH AS “SIX SILLY SWANS WENT SWIMMING IN THE SEA.”

It’s important to note that not every

word in the sentence has to begin
with the same letter in order for it
to be considered alliteration.

In the above example, only 5 out of

8 words begin with an “s”.
 Hyperbole
THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES OF
HYPERBOLE. YOU WILL LATER SELECT THE BEST
DEFINITION FOR THIS FIGURE OF SPEECH.

My backpack weighs a ton.

 Hyperbole
Another example:
The wolf was 100 feet high.
 Hyperbole
More examples:

You could have knocked me

over with a feather.

I’ve told you a million times!

Which of the following is the best
definition for hyperbole?
(Click on a definition to select your answer.)

A major understatement; the opposite of exaggeration

A true statement that accurately describes a person,

place, or thing

A major exaggeration or overstatement used for

emphasis or humor

Try Again
THINK ABOUT THE EXAMPLES AGAIN.

The wolf was 100 feet high.

My backpack weighs a ton.

ARE THESE TRUE STATEMENTS?

DOES IT UNDERSTATE OR OVERSTATE THE TRUTH?

Click the arrow to try again.

You’re Right!
HYPERBOLE IS A MAJOR EXAGGERATION OR OVERSTATEMENT.

AUTHORS USE THIS FIGURE OF SPEECH TO EMPHASIZE A POINT OR ADD

HUMOR.

Think about many times in a day

you exaggerate what you say and
use hyperbole.
 Onomatopoeia
When you see this: You often hear this:

Buzz and ring are both examples of onomatopoeia.

START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK IS
BEST DEFINITION FOR THIS FIGURE OF SPEECH.
 Onomatopoeia

Which of the following is the best
definition for onomatopoeia?
(Click on a definition to select your answer.)

A word that looks like its meaning

A word that sounds like its meaning

Try Again
THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT THE WORDS BUZZ, BANG,
AND MOO.
DO THESE WORDS LOOK LIKE THEIR MEANINGS?

DO THESE WORDS ONLY DESCRIBE SOUNDS THAT
ANIMALS MAKE?

Click the arrow to try again.

You’re Right!
ONOMATOPOEIA IS A WORD THAT SOUNDS LIKE ITS MEANING.

IT CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS THE USE OF A WORD WHICH IMITATES A

SOUND.

OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE: SCREECH, WHIRR, SIZZLE, CRUNCH, BANG,

POW, ZAP, ROAR, GROWL, CLICK, SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP.
 Personification
Definition:
GIVING HUMAN TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS TO SOMETHING THAT
ISN’T HUMAN, SUCH AS ANIMALS, OBJECTS OR NON-LIVING THINGS

Think of it this way:

When a writer uses personification, he or she
gives characteristics of a person to an
animal, object or thing.
 Personification
Example:
The willow tree shook her long hair.

Explanation:
The example is referring to the way that
the willow tree’s long branches sway in the
wind. By saying “shook her long hair”, the
tree is given characteristics of a human.
 Personification
More examples:
The car danced across the icy road.
The angry clouds marched across the sky.
The stars in the clear night sky winked at me.
The tulips nodded their heads in the breeze.
Which of the following sentences
contain personification?
