FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
WHAT IS FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
 Figurative language is phrasing that goes beyond the literal
meaning of words to get a message or point across. ... Writers
create figurative language through figures of speech such as: Simile.
Metaphor etc.
ASSONANCE
Assonance is the repetition of the same or similar vowel sounds
within words , phrases or sentences
Eg; The light of the fire is a sight.(repetition of the long I sound).
ALLITERATION
This is the most common way of drawing attention to language ;
beginning 2 or more adjacent word with the same letter or we can say
a literery device in which a series of words begin with the same
consonant sound.
Eg; she sells seashells on the sea shore.
PERSONIFICATION
A technique where an object or a idea is given human characteristics .
It is used to convey the meaning that an item or thing has performed
an action when in reality it has not.
Eg; The sun smiled at me.
IMAGERY
Imagery is the literary term used for language and discription that
appealed to our five senses.
Eg; It was DARK and DIM in the forest.(the word dark and dim are
visual images).
METAPHOR
It is the direct comparison without using words like LIKE and AS.
Eg; My love is a red rose.
SIMILE
Simile is a form of comparison where we use the words LIKE and
AS.
Eg; My love is like a red lose.
