GO FIGURE!Figurative Language
![Page 8: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
RECOGNIZING FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
The opposite of literal language is figurative language. Figurative language is language that means more than what it says on the surface.
• It usually gives us a feeling about its subject.
• Poets use figurative language almost as frequently as literal language. When you read poetry, you must be conscious of the difference. Otherwise, a poem may make no sense at all.
![Page 9: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RECOGNIZING LITERAL LANGUAGE
“I’ve eaten so much I feel as if I could literally burst!”
• In this case, the person is not using the word literally in its true meaning. Literal means "exact" or "not exaggerated." By pretending that the statement is not exaggerated, the person stresses how much he has eaten.
Literal language is language that means exactly what is said.
Most of the time, we use
literal language.

WHAT IS FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE?
• Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language.

![Page 12: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Now, let’s view a You Tube video on figurative language
![Page 13: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IMAGERY • Language that appeals to the senses.
Descriptions of people or objects stated in terms of our senses.
• Sight • Hearing • Touch • Taste • Smell
![Page 14: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SIMILE• A figure of speech which involves a direct
comparison between two unlike things, usually with the words like or as. Example: The muscles on his brawny arms are
strong as iron bands.
![Page 15: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
METAPHOR• A figure of speech which involves an implied comparison between two relatively
unlike things using a form of be. The comparison is not announced by like or as.
Example: The road was a ribbon wrapped through the dessert.
![Page 16: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ALLITERATION• Repeated consonant sounds occurring at the beginning of words or within words.
Example: She was wide-eyed and wondering while she waited for Walter to waken.
![Page 17: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PERSONIFICATION• A figure of speech which gives the qualities of a person to an animal, an object,
or an idea.
Example: “The wind yells while blowing."
The wind cannot yell. Only a living thing can yell.
![Page 18: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ONOMATOPOEIA• The use of words that mimic sounds.
Example: The firecracker made a loud kaboom!
![Page 19: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
HYPERBOLE• An exaggerated statement used to heighten
effect. It is not used to mislead the reader, but to emphasize a point. Example: She’s said so on several million
occasions.
![Page 20: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
IDIOMS• An idiom or idiomatic expression refers to a construction or expression in one
language that cannot be matched or directly translated word-for-word in another language.
Example: "She has a bee in her bonnet," meaning "she is obsessed," cannot be literally translated into another language word for word.
![Page 21: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Let’s try to identify some Figurative Language now
1. My soul has grown deep like rivers. Which technique is being used? ________________________________________________How do you figure? (write a sentence explaining your answer)
![Page 22: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The correct answer is that this sentence used a simile.
We know this because it compares the soul and the depth of rivers using the words “like” or “as”.
![Page 23: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Let’s try another one!
2. Bear in mind / That death is a drum Which technique is being used? ________________________________________________________________________ How do you figure?(write a sentence explaining your answer)
![Page 24: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The correct answer is that a metaphor is used.
We know this because they call death a drum.
![Page 25: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Oh, never, if I live to a million, / Shall I feel such a terrible pain. Which technique is being used? ______________________________________________________________________
How do you figure? (write a sentence explaining your answer)
![Page 26: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The correct answer is hyperbole.
We know this because no one lives to be a million years old!
![Page 27: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
TRY ONE MORE4. And then my heart with pleasure fills, / And dances with the daffodils. Which technique is being used? _________________________________________
How do you figure? (write a sentence explaining your answer)
![Page 28: Welcome to this IRSC Adult Education Elluminate Session](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815eb2550346895dcd38a0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The correct answer is personification was used.
We know this because a daffodil cannot dance, but a person can.
You’ve done an excellent job with these.

Figurative Language is the use of words to mean something other than what the words usually mean in the dictionary
Examples:
• He was as tough as shoe leather.• They all stood when they saw the flag brought into the room.• Love is a battlefield• That dog is as big as a house!
• Here’s a quick review video on Figurative Language
