figurative language to describe better the
emotions, feelings and to compare things, right?

But if you noticed, today I let you listen to a song Yes ma’am.
and that song has also literary devices, right?

So, meaning figurative language can also be

found in songs or in any type of text. It could be a
story, song, or poem.

D. ABSTRACTION
Yesterday we have discussed the literary devices Yes ma’am.
such as End rhyme, Internal rhyme,
Onomatopoeia, Assonance, Alliteration and
Consonance, right?

Today, we will continue our discussion with the

literary devices, but today we will discuss
imagery, metaphor, simile, personification and
hyperbole.

So first let’s start with the Imagery. Who among Ma’am imagery is a language that appeals with
you have an idea what is imagery? our sense’s ma’am.

Very good! Imagery is the literary term used for

language and description that appeals to our five
senses. When a writer attempts to describe
something so that it appeals to our sense of
smell, sight, taste, touch, or hearing.

So here are the examples:

The houses look like frosted cakes in winter.

His words felt like a dagger in my heart.

In these lines class can you find the imagery? Ma’am in the first line the house were compared
to the smell of frosted cake.
How about in the second line? Ma’am the second line ma’am contain strong
emotions that he compared his words with the
dagger in her heart.
Great observation! Now let us proceed with
Metaphor. What do you know about metaphor? Metaphor is literary device that makes a
comparison between two unlike things.
Very good answer! A metaphor is a rhetorical
figure of speech that compares two subjects
without the use of “like” or “as.”

Here are the examples:

Last night I slept the sleep of the dead.
He’s buried in a sea of paperwork.

Now, can you explain why these two lines were Ma’am because in the first line his sleep was
considered as metaphor? compared by the sleep of the dead.

Great job! how about the second line? Ma’am in the second line the man’s work was
compared by sea of paperwork.
Good job! always remember metaphor compares
two different things without the use of “like and
as”.

Now that you know the Metaphor, let us go on to

Simile.
If Metaphor is used to compare two unlike things Ma’am Simile is use to compare two things with
without using “like or as” how about the Simile? the use of “like or as”.

Wonderful observation! A simile is a figure of The word “hissing” ma’am

speech that compares two different things in an
interesting way. ...
Here is an example of a simile is: She is as
innocent as an angel.

In this example the girl was compared by an

angel with the use of the word as.

Okay, who can give me another example? Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to
stop.
Wow! That’s impressive!
Okay class, let us proceed to Personification. Personification means giving an object or animal
What is personification? human characteristics to create interesting
imagery.”
Good answer! Personification is a figure of
speech in which an idea or thing is given human
attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as if it
were human. This allows writers to create life
and motion within inanimate objects, animals,
and even abstract ideas by assigning them
recognizable human behaviors and emotions.

Here are the examples:

My alarm yelled at me this morning.

The wind is whispering outside.
In these examples, if we will take it literally, it will Yes ma’am.
be confusing because things can’t speak right?

Now who can give me another example of The school bell called us from outside.
personification?

Wow that’s wonderful! Okay so let us now

proceed with the last literary device that we will
discuss today which is the Hyperbole.

Who among you have an idea what is Hyperbole? Ma’am hyperbole are exaggerated statements or
claims not meant to be taken literally.

Very good answer! Hyperbole is a figure of

speech and literary device that creates
heightened effect through deliberate
exaggeration. Hyperbole is often a boldly
overstated or exaggerated claim or statement
that adds emphasis without the intention of
being literally true.

These are the examples:

I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.
She is more beautiful than the moon and stars.

In these examples, the lines were stated

exaggeratedly.
None ma’am!
Now class, do you have any question?

I assume that all of you understand our lesson

today, so let us proceed with our next activity.
