Sing It!
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you? 'Cause there's a spark in you You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July 'Cause baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colors burst Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe You don't have to feel like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it's time, you'll know You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July 'Cause baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colors burst Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon It's always been inside of you, you, you And now it's time to let it through Word Hunt Objectives: At the end of the learning period, the students should be able to: a. identify the different figures of speech; b. recognize figures of speech in a short poem; c. create a sentence using figures of speech. Figures of Speech These are words or phrases used in a distinctive way to produce a rhetorical effect. It is a phrase whose actual meaning is different from its literal meaning. To say it in very simple terms, it is a phrase whose actual meaning is different from its literal meaning. LEISIM Simile It is a figure of speech in which a comparison is made between unlike objects using the words like or as. Example: Her teeth is as white as a snow. He swims like a fish. He is as brave as a lion. ROPEMATH Metaphor It is a direct comparison drawn between two unlike ideas without the use of like or as. Example: You are the sunshine of my life. He is the star of our class. Life is a highway. OBEYLERPH Hyperbole It is an exaggeration or overstatement. Authors use this figure of speech in order to emphasize or heighten the effect of something. Example: I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse. I washed a mountain of dishes. I have died everyday waiting for you. TNOEOPOIAMOA Onomatopoeia This is a figure of speech that is used to express a sound. It involves the use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the action or object referred to. Example: The fireworks went boom and colored the night skies with red and white. The buzzing bee flew over my head. , it is a phrase whose actual meaning is different from its literal meaning. TICASONEPORIFN Personification It is giving humanly attributes to an inanimate object (animal, idea, etc.) Example: The sun is smiling down on me. The opportunity knocked at his door. The plants in her house silently begged to be watered. OINRY Irony It is a figure of speech in which the usage of words conveys the opposite of their literal meaning. It is actually a contrast between what was expected and what actually happened. Example: No smoking sign during a cigarette break. He studied very hard that he failed the exam. XYMOOONR Oxymoron It is a self-contrasting statement or a combination of contradictory or incongruous words. Example: cruel kindness bitter sweet loud silence This is another fine mess you have got us into. APDORAX Paradox It is a juxtaposition of a set of seemingly contradictory concepts that reveal a hidden truth. Example: “This is the beginning of the end.” “Save money by spending it.” “I know only one thing; that I know nothing.” AITTLLAONIER Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound. Example: “She sells sea shells in the sea shore.” “Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing.” ASSNAECON Assonance Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in the structure of sentences/lines. Example: You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July

O Hades, where is your victory?” DOCSYNECHE Synecdoche Synecdoche is an association with some important part with the whole it represents. Example: “He has many mouths to feed.” “Lend me your ears.” “I’ve got my new wheels.” MYNYTOME Metonymy It is an association wherein the name of something is substituted by something that represents it. Example: “Pen is mightier than the sword.” “We will swear loyalty to the crown.” “It seems like people will do whatever Hollywood says is cool.” PHESMIMEU Euphemism The use of subtle and non- offensive words to conceal or to replace the offensive words in a statement.
