1. FIGURE OF SPEECH LESSON 3

2. What is Figure of speech Figures of speech are more interesting, lively, beautiful, and memorable than literal expressions. They are defined as the use of words or phrases whose meanings differ from their literal interpretations . Figures of speech add color and flavor to literature, spanning poetry, prose, speeches, and song lyrics, and are also a common component of everyday conversation. Beyond similes and metaphors, many types of figures of speech exist.

3. simile A simile is a literary device, a figurative language, which compares two dissimilar objects using “like” or “as.” Example: I hide like a turtle in its house And like a snail walking on the land

4. Examples: She cried like rain falling from a broken sky. His temper flared up like fire on dry grass. The students were as noisy as a flock of crows in a mango tree.

5. Metaphor On the other hand, metaphor is a figurative language that compares non-similar things without expressing “like” or “as.” It means asserting two things are identical in comparison rather than being similar. It is also useful in using specific images or concepts to state abstract truths. Example: A Makahiya in the middle of the farm But wants to shine brightly in dark times

6. Examples: Her voice is the melody that calms a stormy mind. The world is a stage, and we are the fragile actors. Time is a thief that steals every golden moment.

7. Hyperbole Hyperbole is a figure of speech that expresses exaggeration to emphasize a certain quality or feature. Example: I am bigger than the entire earth More powerful than the sea Though a million, billion have tried Not one could ever stop me.

8. Examples: I’ve told you a thousand times to clean your room! His backpack weighs a ton—it’s like he packed the whole world. She ran so fast, even lightning couldn’t catch her.

9. Personification Personification is giving human characteristics to inanimate objects. Example: All dancing trees are excited The birds are dancing with them to see The rain greets the land today With the wind whistling so eagerly

10. Examples: The moon smiled gently through the curtains. My alarm clock screamed at me to wake up. The lonely road stretched its arms toward the horizon.

11. Oxymoron Oxymoron connects two opposing ideas to create a contradictory effect. Example: In the darkness of your eyes, Tears of joy, a wounded heart, Traveling along the path of night, Searching for the dawn of tomorrow.

12. Examples: It was a deafening silence that filled the empty room. Their bittersweet goodbye lingered in the air. He wore a clearly confused expression on his face.
