Fun Figurative Freeway

Filed Under (Writer's Block) by jafinkley on 27-02-2007



Write some fun similes or metaphors below. If you are good, add a personification.

Personication- Uses human qualities and apply them to nature. Example, The flowers dancing in the wind.

Simile- Uses like or as to compare two totally different objects. For an example, The boy is as strong as an ox pulling a plow.

Metaphors- Compare two objects by saying what the other is.

Alliterations- When 4 words or more begin with the same letter.

Oxymorans- When words are grouped together with opposite meanings

Reverse Simile- Uses three items instead of two. Ex: Alabama Adventure makes Disney world look like a carnival.

Apostrophe- Addresses nonliving things to have a conversation. Ex: “O”, Christmas tree, how beautiful you are to me.

Symbolism- Connects two things using relationships that are symbolic of human relationships.
