Figurative Language Terms and Examples - By Laura Haro
Transcript
| 00:00 | high class . So today we're gonna be talking about | |
| 00:03 | figurative language . Figurative language is a term that is | |
| 00:06 | given to the techniques that writers use to intensify emotion | |
| 00:11 | , to be more persuasive in to engage the reader | |
| 00:16 | . The first type of figurative language that we're gonna | |
| 00:18 | look at is , ah , hyperbole . And this | |
| 00:20 | is simply an exaggeration . An example of this would | |
| 00:25 | be her smile was a mile wide . Of course | |
| 00:29 | , we know that there probably isn't any creature on | |
| 00:31 | Earth that has a smile that is one mile in | |
| 00:34 | distance . We're also gonna look at similes , and | |
| 00:39 | assembly is a comparison using the word like or as | |
| 00:45 | life is like riding a bicycle . To keep your | |
| 00:47 | balance , you must keep moving . We're also gonna | |
| 00:52 | look at metaphors . And a metaphor is a comparison | |
| 00:55 | of two things without using the word like er as | |
| 01:01 | so for example , you are my sunshine notice . | |
| 01:06 | It didn't say you are like my sunshine and there | |
| 01:13 | are also idioms . And an idiom is an expression | |
| 01:16 | that does not exactly mean what the words say . | |
| 01:21 | So , for example , he woke up on the | |
| 01:23 | wrong side of the bed . Donald Duck didn't exactly | |
| 01:26 | wake up on the left side or the right side | |
| 01:29 | . Maybe he just woke up a little angry . | |
| 01:36 | Next , we have a liberation , and this is | |
| 01:38 | the repetition of the same beginning continent sound . So | |
| 01:43 | , for example , Sally sells seashells near the seashore | |
| 01:48 | . Thes air , usually tongue twisters , and they | |
| 01:50 | always get me . And next we have an Ahmad | |
| 01:54 | Appiah , and this is a word that sounds like | |
| 01:58 | the word or action that it's describing . So , | |
| 02:02 | for example , Ouch . That hurt my finger . | |
| 02:06 | Other words include flak , boom cow . Think of | |
| 02:11 | some automatic Pia you may hear in your everyday language | |
| 02:15 | or books that use this a lot . And lastly | |
| 02:20 | , we have personification . And this is when human | |
| 02:22 | characteristics are given to inanimate objects , ideas and animals | |
| 02:28 | . We see personification a lot in Children's novels and | |
| 02:33 | movies , So think of some examples and bring them | |
| 02:36 | to class with you next time , for example , | |
| 02:39 | I have is the sun kissed his skin this weekend | |
| 02:43 | . Of course , the son didn't actually give his | |
| 02:46 | skin a kiss |
