Imagery- the picture that a writer creates with vivid words that appeal to the reader’s senses
**All figurative language creates imagery. Imagery is not a type of figurative language, but what figurative language helps to create for the reader.** _________________________________________________________________________
Idiom- A phrase in which the figurative meaning of the whole group of words is different from literal meaning of each individual word (example: raining cats and dogs, kicked the bucket)
Personification-giving a non-human object human characteristics (example: The Three Little Pigs talk)
Alliteration- Words with the same first consonant sound occurring close together (example: Cara’s crazy cat.)
Simile-a comparison using “like” or “as” (example: as pretty as a flower, cold like an iceberg)
Metaphor- A comparison in which one thing is referred to as if it were (example: Life is a journey.)
Hyperbole- Exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally (example: His feet were as big as a barge.)
Onomatopoeia- A word that mimics the sound of the object or action it refers to (example: buzz, hiss, crackle)
