HYPERBOLE

• A hyperbole is a exaggeration that is not meant to be taken literally

Untitled Slide

• “Where do we go? Michael pressed, impatience straining his every muscle
• This is a hyperbole because you can't strain every muscle in your body. I think this quotes means he is getting impatient to the point where he is getting angry.

PERSONIFICATION

• Giving human traits to objects or animals.

Untitled Slide

• Loose pieces of trash blew past and danced in the air.
• This is personification because it says the trash danced. I think this means a light breeze is picking up trash off the ground and making it look like the trash is dancing in the air.

Untitled Slide

• “when it's going good, it's going great.”
• This is a alliteration because it rhymes the quote. I think this means then you are working hard and doing great you know you can keep going and do better.

IDIOM

• Literal words that have a figurative meaning.

Untitled Slide

• “The last thing he could afford to do was tick her off.”
• This is an idiom because you can't really tick somebody off. I think this means he just can't afford to make her mad.

ALLUSION

• A indirect reference pointing something out.

Untitled Slide

• For your information, you Lorax, I'm figgering on biggering and biggering and biggering and BIGGERING, turning MORE Truffula Trees into Thneeds which everyone, EVERYONE, EVERYONE NEEDS!”
• This quote alludes to consumerism where you always need the latest fashion and always need more.

UNDERSTATEMENT

• A presentation of something being smaller or less important then it is.

Untitled Slide

• says “I am good” when a man with super strength hits him.
• this is an understatement because he is in a lot of pain and he tried to shrug it off. I think what this means is he doesn't want to show weakness to his enemy.
