The main difference between a simile and metaphor is that a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison and a metaphor simply states the comparison without using "like" or "as". https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559726857 2020-05-08 13:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559726857 Definition: Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an idea or an animal – is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the ability to act like human beings. https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559731276 2020-05-08 13:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559731276 Definition: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language. Therefore, a hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally. A hyperbole is an overstatement that exaggerates a particular condition for emphasis. Example of Hyperbole. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559733216 2020-05-08 13:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559733216 Definition: Onomatopoeia is a poetic structure of words to convey how something sounds. An example of onomatopoeia is a poem about a stream written in a way to imitate the sound of a stream. Onomatopoeia is defined as a word that sounds like the common sound of the object it is describing. https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559735184 2020-05-08 13:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559735184 Definition: Alliteration is the repetition of identical or similar sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables, as in “on scrolls of silver snowy sentences” https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559736097 2020-05-08 13:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/559736097 Examples of similes: sheryl_hudler https://padlet.com/sheryl_hudler/htsosukbk9otcb3/wish/560104997  “. . . she tried to get rid of the kitten which had scrambled up her back and stuck like a burr just out of reach.” — Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott  page 56

Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I’m dumb in school?
What If they’ve closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there’s poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
By Shel Silverstein
