Figurative language

This week we are now recapping our figurative language skills. There is 5 different types of figurative language. Simile, Metaphor, personification, Hyperbole, understatement.  Simile is a comparison of two things using "like or as".  Metaphor is two things are compared without using "like or as". personification is giving human traits to objects or ideas.

Hyperboly is exaggerating to show strong feeling or effect and understatement is expression with less strength than expected.
