Figurative Writing Task

For today's English lesson we have to Define the phrases ( Figurative language and literal language) so we have to write the definition and then write a 3-5 sentence using it to show we understand. \

Figurative Language - Figurative language uses different things like metaphors, allusions and similes to draw the reader in and make it more interesting to read.

Literal language - Literal language uses word and uses them solely for their real meaning.

Simile - A simile is something you use to compare two things to each other using the words "like" or "as"
For example:
The light is as bright as the sun
His voice was as loud as a truck horn
He was tall like Liam

Metaphor - A metaphor is a hidden or implied comparison between two things.
For example:
Her voice is music to his ears
Words are daggers if spoken with anger.
Laughter is the best medicine

Idiom - A set expression or phrase that isn't implied literally
For example: 
I worked the graveyard shift with old people, which was really demoralizing, because the old people didn’t have a chance in hell of ever getting out.

If we play our cards right we might be able to find out when those whales are being released

Alliteration - Alliteration is when there are a series of words that start with the same letter in a row
For example:

Hyperbole -  Hyperbole is a Greek word for Over-casting.
For example:

Personification - Something non human with human characteristics
For example:

Onomatopoeia - An Onomatopoeia is a sound like a ( Bang or a Crash) that can be used in writing to make it more interesting or to state a sound that's happening.
For example:
The house came down with a CRASH
The gun went off with a BANG
The can went POP as it opened

Assonance - When a series of words have the same vowel sound
For example:
