Do you want to write GOOD English?
Here is how you can improve your writing skill
Let's get STARTED
Figurative language, or figures of speech, are rhetorical devices used by writers and speakers
to give words meaning beyond their usual, literal definition. There are many different kinds of figures of speech, including simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, eta Here, I'll just cover a few of the basics, which you use in your writing for better grades.
Simile
This is one figure of speech that you may be familiar with from earlier English classes. A simile is a comparison between two unlike things, usually using the words "like" or "as." The presence of these two words tends to make similes easy to identify.
1) "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump
This simile uses the word "like” to compare "life" and "a box of chocolates," two things that we would normally think of as unrelated. The comparison helps to highlight the surprises life often brings our way. Just as we bite into a candy from a variety box of chocolates unsure if the center will be peanut butter or raspberry, we get out of bed each morning unsure what will happen over the course of the day.
Underline the similes in the following sentences:
1. The clock struck midnight and the sky was as black as ink.
2.The new couch was as big as a bus and could hardly fit inside their small living room.
3. She forgot her glasses and felt as blind as a bat, so she had difficulty reading.
4. She forgot her homework four days in a row and felt as flaky as a snowstorm.
5. After getting all the questions correct on her test, she felt as wise as an owl.
6. The snobby and conceited girl treated everyone badly and was as cold as ice.
7. 1 needed my sunglasses inside since the lights were as bright as day.
8. The new baby looked as cute as a cupcake in his brand new giraffe sweater.
9. Her brand new puppy was as cute as a button when he chased his tail in circles.
10. The frog wasn't moving because it was as dead as a doornail.
11. When everyone is sleeping, the house is as quiet as a mouse.
12. When she graduated from high school, her mom was as proud as a peacock.
13. When the school bell rings at the end of the day I feel as free as a bird.
14. She accidentally dropped the meatball and it was as flat as a pancake.
15. She ate the huge pizza all by herself and felt as fat as a pig.
16. She exercised and ate healthy things all week and felt as light as a feather.
17. Finding the ring she lost was like finding a needle in a haystack.
18. The girl walked as slow as a snail because she was so exhausted.
19. The class was as quiet as a mouse because they didn't want to get in trouble.
