    This document discusses different types of figurative language including metaphors, similes, and hyperbole. It provides examples of each: 1. Metaphors directly state that one thing is another and do not use "like" or "as", such as describing someone as a "wall". 2. Similes use "like" or "as" to draw a comparison between two otherwise unrelated subjects, such as saying something is "as explosive as a volcano". 3. Hyperbole uses deliberate exaggeration for emphasis through comparisons that are clearly not literally true, such as saying something weighs "a ton" or that a path went on "forever".

    METAPHORS

    Metaphors are comparisons that


    show how two things that are not
    SIMILE, HYPERBOLE
    alike in most ways are similar in one
    important way. Metaphors are a AND METAPHORS
    way to describe something. Authors By The Macho Boys
    use them to make their writing
    more interesting or entertaining.

    Unlike similes that use the words


    “as” or “like” to make a comparison,
    metaphors state that something is
    something else.

    Examples for metaphors.

    1. Brian was a wall, bouncing every


    tennis ball back over the net. IPDA
    This metaphor compares
    Brian to a wall because he kept re-
    turning the balls.

    2. We would have had more pizza


    to eat if Tammy hadn’t been such a
    hog.

    Hyperbole is used to create em-

    being compared.
    used in poetry, and is frequently en-
    countered in casual speech. It is also
    a visual technique in which a delib-
    erate exaggeration of a particular
    part of an image is employed. An
    example is the exaggeration of a
    person's facial feature in a political
    cartoon.
