Metaphor
Figurative language is a part of speech. Examples of figurative language are Similes Metaphors Personification Hyperbole Idioms Alliteration and something else. A simile is when you compare 2 things using like or as. A metaphor is saying that something is something for example we were a herd of wild beasts. Personification is when you give something human characteristics. Hyperbole's are fun they tend to be silly. Idioms is saying something that means something else for example many people say it's raining cats and dogs. It means it is pouring down rain. And last is Alliteration it is saying a group of 3 or more words that start with the same sound for example the Lazy Lions Lounging under the tree
78 ...I am so weighted with them(the giver talking about the memories) 81 ...he could see them gather on the back of his hands, like cold wet fur 82 ..the breathless glee that overwhelmed him
To match excerpts with their respective figurative language, consider the following: Irony often involves a contrast between expectation and reality, such as a fire station burning down. Synecdoche uses a part to represent the whole, like referring to workers as "hands." Symbols are objects or elements that represent larger concepts, like a dove symbolizing peace. Metonymy replaces the name of a thing with the name of something closely associated, such as saying "the White House" to refer to the U.S. presidency.
Yes, there is figurative language used in The Alchemyst By Michael Scott. A similie used would be, "Foul, yellow-tinged smoke coiled and dripped from the gray man's gloved hands, spattering onto the wooden floor like dirty liquid." Personification: "Sharp and clean, the smell cut through the clost cellar atmosphere." Metaphor: "Josh's vision became a kaleidoscope of black-and-white still images as the light seared the rods and cones at the back of his eyes." I think this is a hyperbole, but I might be wrong... ;3; "Her teeth were small and perfect, and her face was traced with tiny laugh lines at the corners of her eyes." I think saying that they're perfect is the hyperbole part, but, again, I'm not sure. This is just to name a few. There are TONS more!!
