8. FIGURES OF SPEECH A figure of speech can be generally defined as a deviation from the normal use of words in grammar. It is basically a figurative language containing words that are expressed in a non-literal sense .

9. 1. SIMILE It is an expression comparing one thing to another using the words “ like ” or “ as ”.

10. Example: Life is like a rollercoaster. The dancers roared like a lion. She runs like lightning. You are as cold as ice. Her bag is light as a feather

11. 2. METAPHOR It is a comparison of two unlike things without using the words “like” or “as”.

12. Example: All the world’s a stage. Time is gold. You are my sunshine. Your voice is music to my ears. He is a walking dictionary.

13. 3. HYPERBOLE It is an obvious exaggeration or overstatement.

14. Example: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse! It’s raining cats and dogs. I’m so tired I could sleep a year. I’m so thirsty I could drink the pacific ocean. He’s as skinny as a toothpick.

15. 4. PERSONIFICATION It happens when a writer gives human qualities to animals or objects .

16. Example: The plants are begging for water. The leaves are dancing. The birds are singing. The stars in the clear sky winked at me. The sun is smiling on us today. The sky is in tears. The cat laughed.

21. Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Sally sells seashells by the seashore. Go and gather the green leaves on the grass.

22. 7. ASSONANCE It is the repetition of the same vowel sounds .

23. Example: “On a proud round cloud in white high night.” "It beats . . . as it sweeps . . . as it cleans!“ "I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless.”

24. 8. APOSTROPHE It is sometimes represented by an exclamation, such as “Oh.” It involves speaking to someone who is not present or is dead, or to an inanimate object .

25. Example: Feet, don't fail me now. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Life, I cannot understand you. Oh, bed! At last; I can be with you!
