speech.
 Identify what are the differences and
uses of hyperbole and irony.
*Now, let us first know the definition of figures of
speech.
* Figurative language or figures of speech are
ways of expressing ideas by using symbols,
figures, or likenesses.
* It is the opposite of literal language because it
does not tell directly what a person has in mind.
* To name some examples are:
* Number one, Simile.
* Simile, is a comparison of two unlike objects
using like or as.
* Number two, Metaphor.
* Metaphor, is a direct comparison of two unlike
object without using like or as.
* Kids, always remember that if we say simile, it
is with the use of like or as, while if we say
metaphor, is without the use of like or as.
* Take note of those.
* Third example is personification.
* Personification is a figure of speech that gives
human qualities to places, objects, animals, or
ideas.
* In addition to the given examples of figurative
language that we use, we also have hyperbole
and irony.
* Hyperbole is a figure speech that expresses
overstatement and exaggeration of a particular
condition.
* Statements expressing hyperbole are also
called hyperbolic statements.
* Here are some examples of hyperbole.
* My world turned upside down.
* Your voice is deafening.
* The heat of my body can produce fire.
* Those examples are exaggerated statements
that are almost impossible to believe since they

may never happen or exist.
* Irony, on the other hand, is a figure of speech
that expresses the contrary or opposite of what
should one really think especially in order to be
funny.
* It is also called an ironic statement.
* The words used in ironic statements express
praise or approval, however, the real purpose is
to criticize, mock, or ridicule.
* Here are some examples of Irony.
* The teacher fails the test.
* The shoemaker’s children have no shoes.
* The doctor died of pneumonia.
* Those examples express ideas or situations that
are opposite or in contrast of what is expected to
happen or what is said in mind.
