The donut is figurative language and the sprinkles are the figures of speech. These are metaphor, simile, hyperbole, etc. ]]> 2019-03-19 13:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/342829431 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/342833183 An example of a simile is, "The willow is like an etching" (Merriam 392). This sentence uses the word "like" that similes need to have. It also shows two unlike things. ]]> 2019-03-19 13:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/342833183 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/342843242 One example of a metaphor is, "Let the rain sing you a lullaby" (Hughes 338). This shows it is a metaphor because it doesn't use the words like or as. The metaphor also explains two unlike things that somehow go together.  ]]> 2019-03-19 13:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/342843242 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343297124 An example of figurative language would be, "I was so sick that there wasn't any left for those other two hundred passengers" (Twain 580). This is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration that he is saying about getting sick.  ]]> 2019-03-20 13:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343297124 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343301698 Examples of onomatopoeia is, "It sushes. It hushes the loudness in the road. It flitter-twitters, and it laughs away from me. It laughs a lovely whiteness, the whitely whirs away" (Brooks 362). This is an onomatopoeia because it says the words whir, hushes, and sushes.These are
onomatopoeias. ]]> 2019-03-20 13:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343301698 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302022 One example of alliteration is, "If your tired of a tedious delay, in the dawn of prosperity's day" (Dunham 132). This is an alliteration because it says three words that start with a D. ]]> 2019-03-20 13:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302022 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302144 A personification example is, "We know you too well, said the birds when they had heard him. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful. If we allow you to come with us you will soon begin your mischief." "You do not know me", said Tortoise (Achebe 668). This is personification because the birds and Tortoise were talking which are human characteristics. ]]> 2019-03-20 13:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302144 leunruh https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302234 An example of an imagery is, "Who knows if the moon's a balloon, coming out of a keen city in the sky" (Cummings 368). This is an imagery because it you can imagine a hot air balloon coming down from the moon. ]]> 2019-03-20 13:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leunruh/yp4tjsduideu/wish/343302234
