PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Metaphor
"Life is a roller coaster. You can either scream every time you hit a bump or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it."

This metaphor is referring to everybody's life using a roller coaster. It is trying to say that everyone will have bad times in their life but instead of distressing about it for a long time, you need to get past it as best as you can and enjoy what life has to bring. I like this metaphor because I can relate and instead of thinking about what bad has happened in the past, I think of what good is coming.

Simile
Her smile was as bright as the shining sun.

This simile isn't really trying to say someones smile is as bright as the sun which isn't really possible and is showing that a girl is happy and smiling. I like this simile because the descriptive words put a good, detailed picture in my head of the two pictures - of the sun and a girl smiling - in a comparative format.

Personification
"The wind is howling."
Let It Go by Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez
This example of personification is referring to a very windy day when the wind is so strong that you can hear it making a noise that sounds like whistling, not literally howling. I like this example because I personally love the sound of strong winds and it is easily placed as a picture in my mind.

Hyperbole
"A wag of his tail causes hurricanes."
By Sharon Hendricks
When dogs get excited they wag their tails back and fourth quite rapidly but not even close to fast enough to create a hurricane and this is what the author is referring to, excited dogs that wag their tails quickly! I like this hyperbole because I have actually heard people say this several times before and I think it is quite funny and almost a true statement.
