Common Types of Figure of Speech

The first type of figure of speech is Simile.

Because of the presence of either of these two
words, it is easy to identify a simile wherever it
occurs. Similes frequently occur in everyday
communication, and it makes an attractive
connection in the speaker’s or listener’s mind.

Examples of Similes (Hanna, reads the next slide)

Thank you, Danica. 5. Simile – because it uses the word like to

compare two things.
Metaphor is an expression, often found in
literature, that describes a person or object by
referring to something that is considered to have
similar characteristics to that person or object.

For the next type, we have Personification.

(Shuffle the index card to select student

who will read the next slide.)
Hanna, can you please read the next slide.

Personification - involves giving human traits

to non-living things, animals and ideas. We also
call this ‘anthropomorphism’.
Generally, personification can be seen in fiction
and poetry. Usage of personification in literary
genres influence the reader’s imagination and
can also make the text more interesting to read.

Before we dive a bit deeper into its function it

may be a little more helpful to look at a few
personification examples.  
Give examples;
Examples:
1. "The wind howled in the night.”
Meaning: Howling is a verb used to
describe the vocal projection of an animal
or person. However, obviously, since
wind is not alive, "howls" is a way to
personify it and give the scenario an
entirely new meaning.

2. During storms, the sea grows hungry,

swallowing chunks of land off the cliffs
here.
Meaning: This describes coastal erosion.
 Using the imagery of a hungry,
swallowing sea more vividly conveys
what is happening than simply saying
"During storms, pieces of land are broken
and carried away by the strong tides."
