PLEASE HELP WHOEVER ANSWERS ALL GETS BRAINLIESTS METAPHOR, SIMILE, AND PERSONIFICATION
Figurative language is language that is not meant to be taken literally. Authors use figurative language to paint an interesting picture for readers.
A simile compares two things using the words like or as. (He ran like an old greyhound. She was as quiet as a deer.)
A metaphor compares two unlike things by saying one thing is another. (The dinner was a three-ring circus.)
In personification, a nonhuman subject is described with human characteristics. (The stars were dancing on tiptoes.)
DIRECTIONS: Read the sentences below. Then, write which kind of figurative language appears in the sentence.
EXAMPLE:
As I read a book beneath the tree, the leaves whispered kind words overhead.
This is a personification because leaves cannot actually whisper - they don’t have vocal cords.
The tree was a skeleton against the starry sky.

Her eyes are as green as emeralds.

The school of fish was a shimmering rainbow.

The door groaned when I opened it.
