let us all feel the presence of the Lord. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Father of Light and Wisdom. Send us your Holy Spirit, to guide us in our studies. As we begin this class, we ask you to bless each one of us, our classmates, present or absent. Help us to make most out of this period, and make us respect each person here, always conscious of the truth, that whatever we do to everyone, we do to you. This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Again, good afternoon my dear students especially my grade 8 students. I am your Teacher in English, Valen Lyka Q. Asuncion and our topic for today is all about the Figures of Speech. So sit back, relax, listen, and enjoy! First and foremost, these are our objectives. Are you familiar with the figures of speech class? Ok. So when we say figures of speech, it is a literary device used to create a special effect or feeling by making some type of interesting or creative comparison. When you were in grade 7, you have learned some common types of figures of speech. These are simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Let us first review these figures of speech before we proceed to the other types figures of speech. First, we have the simile. So what do you remember when you hear the word simile? Ok. Very good! Simile is a comparison of two unlike things that have some common quality using like or as. For example: The teachers are like ants who work day and night. The word like is used to compare the two different things. In here, the teacher is compared to ants which have the same quality with the teacher. Another example: My father is busy as a bee. Here, the word as is used to compare the father and a bee. Next, we have the metaphor. When we say metaphor, it is a direct comparison of two unlike things. For example: Ana is the star of our family. In this sentence, Ana compared to a star without using either the like or as like in the simile. Another example: My love for you is a burning flame. In this sentence, love compared to a burning flame without using the word like and as. Can you give me another example using this picture class? My friend is a diamond that shines in everything she do. The third one is the personification. When we say personification, it is a literary device in which an animal, an object, or an idea is spoken of or is described as if it were a person. For example: The sun refuses to set. Can a sun refuse? Very good! Of course not! The sun can’t refuse. This sentence only tells that the sun is taking his time to set. Another example: The dish ran away with the spoon. Can the dish ran away with the spoon class? Of course not. Can you give me another example using this picture class? The boat is dancing in the ocean. Can a boat dance? Of course not class. It only tells that the boat is sailing in the ocean. The fourth one is the hyperbole. When we say hyperbole, it is an exaggeration or an overstatement. Example: They walk a thousand miles to find the treasure. If I will ask you, can you walk for a thousand miles class? Of course not. This sentence just exaggerates the sentence to have a creative idea. Now can you make a sentence out of this picture class? Okay, we can have it like this. For the millionth time, I cleaned the kitchen. So those are the four common types of figures of speech. Let us now proceed to the other types; we have the Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, and Anaphora. First, let us discuss the Onomatopoeia. When we say onomatopoeia, it refers to those words that imitate the sounds of an object or person. For example: The bees buzzed around in the garden. What is the sound of a bee again class? Okay. Here, the word ‘buzzed’ is indicating the sound coming from the bees. Okay. Now can you make a sentence out of this picture class? Very good! We can have it like this. I can hear the water splashing in the garden. So we use the word splash as the sound of the water. Another one is the Alliteration. When we say alliteration, it is the repetition of the beginning sounds of neighbouring words. For example: She sells seashells. Again, the beginning of the word repeats for the next words. Another examples: Walter wondered where Winnie was. Nick needed new notebooks. The last one is the Anaphora. Unlike Alliteration, Anaphora is a technique where several phrases or verses begin with the same word or words. For example: I came, I saw, I conquered. - Julius Caesar What word is repeated in the sentence? Okay very good! Another examples: With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right. - Abraham Lincoln Mad world! Mad kings! Mad composition! - King John II, William Shakespeare So we have seven figures of speech. Now let us have a recap. First one, we the simile. It simply uses like or as when you compare two unlike things. Second, the metaphor. Just like the simile but the word like or as is not used when comparing two unlike things. Third, we have the personification. It is simply the attribution of human qualities to an inanimate object. Fourth is the hyperbole. It is an exaggeration or an overstatement. Fifth, we have the Onomatopoeia. It refers to those words that imitate the sounds of an object or person. Sixth, we have the Alliteration. When we say alliteration, it is the repetition of the beginning sounds of neighbouring words. The last one but not the least is the Anaphora. When we say Anaphora, It is a technique where several phrases or verses begin with the same word or words. So those are the seven figures of speech you need to know. As we end our lesson, let us all pray. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Father in heaven, hollowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen. St. Vincent Ferrer, pray for us. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Again, I am Valen Lyka Q. Asuncion, your teacher in English.
