4 Figures of Speech Ms. Springer February 26, 2009
We have studied 4 figures of speech this month: Metaphor Simile Personification Hyperbole See if you can identify each
Which is it? I tried to race Jose to the end of the street, but he runs like the wind.
SIMILE
Which is it? When the students wouldnt quiet down for the teacher, she sighed, Im teaching a bunch of monkeys today!
METAPHOR
Which is it? The moon laughed as the old man floated away in a balloon.
PERSONIFICATION
Which is it? My sister is so poor she doesnt even have common sense.
HYPERBOLE
Which is it? The Wind The wind stood up and gave a shout. He whistled on his fingers and Kicked the withered leaves about And thumped the branches with his hand And said hed kill and kill and kill And so he will and so he will.
PERSONIFICATION
Which is it? Ms. Springer was as mad as a volcano ready to explode when she walked into class today.
SIMILE
Which is it? The soccer player kicked the ball from a mile away and she still scored a goal!
HYPERBOLE
Which is it? Stop being a clown and give me a serious answer, the teacher said to Sama.
METAPHOR
Which is it? Miss, may I go to my locker? Yes, but dont take FOREVER this time.
HYPERBOLE
Which is it? Who turned out the lights? Its as dark as night in here!
SIMILE
Which is it? My teacher is so old she has a picture of Jesus in her yearbook!
HYPERBOLE
METAPHOR: comparing 2 things Her brain is a calculator SIMILE: comparing using like or as Shes as good at math as a calculator Her brain is like a calculator PERSONIFICATION: giving human qualities to non-human things The wind screams loudly HYPERBOLE: over-exaggeration 8 th grade hallway is a mile away from my classroom.
