A.K.A. Literary Devices
Imagery is language that appeals to the senses.
Ex: He loves the scent of blossoming flowers and the twittering of birds.
A simile is a description that compares two unlike things using like or as.
Ex: The rain seemed like an old friend who had finally found us.
A metaphor is a direct comparison (not using like or as.)
Ex: He was a library of information about baseball.
Hyperbole is an obvious exaggeration.
Ex: I was so hungry that I ate the plate!
Look at the poems on pages 131-134, and fill in the chart with at least one example from each poem.
Imagery | Simile | Metaphor | Hyperbole |
