We use figures of speech to create images in
 the readers mind that express what we are
                               trying to say.

             E.G: “he is as strong as a rock”
DEFINITIONS:

METAPHOR: A Metaphor is a comparison without the use of “as”
or “like”.
SIMILE: A simile is a direct comparison that always contains the
Words “as” or “like”.
HYPERBOLE: is an over-exaggeration, not meant to be taken
literally. It is to emphasise a point.
ALLITERATION: Alliteration is the repetition of consonant
sound at the beginning of words.
ASSONANCE: Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. Either
At the beginning or middle of a word.
IRONY: Irony implies the opposite of what is being said.
Opposite of what is being said is meant to be understood.
ONOMATOPOEIA: Onomatopoeia uses words that
Imitate and reproduce real life sounds.
PERSONIFICATION: gives human qualities to inanimate
Objects and abstract ideas.
PUN: is a clever play on words that are alike in sound but
different in meaning.
ANTI-CLIMAX: is a build up of ideas but the final
Statement is often flat and unexpected.
SARCASM: sarcasm is very similar to Irony in that the
opposite of what is being said is intended, however with the
purpose of being hurtful.
“I can’t wait for my detention on Friday
                afternoon.”
Watching the movie Titanic is a real downer.
Knowing that her family was coming to visit,
Kaylee prepared enough food to feed an army.
He was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
The clouds look down on the drought stricken
               earth and wept.
I love you to the bottom of my pencil case.
She is as bubbly as a bottle of champagne.
The eccentric Eleanor enthused her listeners.
“You must have worked very hard to be at the
            bottom of the class!”
The sky exploded with the crash, bang and
            hissing of fireworks.
The baby boy bounces the ball.
