FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE PROJECT!

SIMILE

• When you compare things using the words "like" or "as"
• Love me like a love song by Selena Gomez
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1IdG-t22VmY

I love you LIKE a love song baby
These lyrics show figurative language because they are being compared and the word "like" is being used

HYPERBOLE

• Using harsh exaggeration
• Fireflies by owl city
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8L1CDFvHTr4

If ten thousand fireflies lit up the world
It is an exaggeration because fireflies can't light up the whole world

ALLITERATION

• Repeating words that start with the same letter
• Run run Rudolph
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pkimySRWiiw

Run Run Rudolph
This is an alliteration because all 3 words start with "R"

METAPHOR

• A METAPHOR IS COMPARING THINGS WITHOUT USING THE WORDS LIKE OR AS
• Life is a high way
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=osuhlptx0J8

Life is a high way
It is a metaphor because life is being compared to a high way without the words "like" or "as"

PERSONIFICATION

• Personification IS giving human qualities to no living things
• Stop and stare by one republic
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KA1LYTWtVQ0

I think this town is sick of us
It is personification because a town can't be sick of something

ONOMATOPIA

• Onomatopia is mimicing sounds
• Old McDonald had a Farm
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8rTM5X2wD0

Oink oink here and an oink oink there
This is onomatopia because oink is the mimicing of a pigs sound
