Identify the author’s use of literary devices in these excerpts from “the open boat.” drag each tile to the correct box.

Metaphor is the literary device in which two disconnected/different things are compared. Simile is also a comparison between two disconnected things, but simile uses words such as "like" or "as", while metaphor simple states that "one thing is another".

"The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining and wind-riven." - Metaphor.

"As each wave came, and she [the boat] rose for it, she seemed like a horse making at a fence outrageously high." - Simile.

Personification gives human characteristics to objects, animals or ideas.

"If this old fool woman, Fate, cannot do better than this..." - Personification.

Symbolism is when a word is used to symbolize something else. In this example, "uncertainties" represent the waves.

"The open boat is described as 'bobbing along among the universe's uncertainties." - Symbolism.
