As we are reading poetry and looking at various parts of poems, can you notice some of the same figurative language in your independent reading? Using your notes from this week, give examples of each of the parts of figurative language we've been discussing. You may not find all types. If you can’t find any, look at the poem you put on the moodle or the lyrics to your favorite song.
In my book Witch & Wizard by James Patterson, I have noticed that their is a lot of figurative language. As I was reading I found simile's, metaphor's, personification, and idiom's. One simile that I have found was on page 170 it stated ' My body began to shake like I was being tossed around in the back of a horse drawn cart barreling down a cobblestone road at 55mph.' Two metaphor's I had found were on page 168 and 169. They had stated ' My heart leaped.' and ' Deathly yellow eye's.' One personification I had found was on page 164. It had said ' You did this to me.' said the weasel 'you taught a weasel how to talk?!' Said Sasha. The last thing I had found was an idiom. I found this on page 170. It had said "Earsplitting shriek of anger.'
Lizzy,
ReplyDeleteI love how you challenge yourself by using a paragraph format. You get idiom and simile. However, I can't tell if your 1st metaphor is a metaphor because I don't know what is being compared. And you didn't quote a personification example.
