learning and understanding figurative language

Understanding Figurative language

Last week we were learning and understanding figurative language. Here is my example to show that I know what figurative language is.

name	meaning	example
personification	Giving a random object a human like trait.	The flower danced in the breeze
metaphor	Saying an object is something but it isn't.	The hands on the clock are strong arms.
similes	Using words like, or as to compare one thing to another.	The ruler snapped and the end of it was as sharp as a sword.
imagery	You describe something but you don’t say what it is	A roll of meat was wrapped up in a blanket of puff pastry. As I chewed a dictionary of flavors exploded beneath my lips.
hyperbole	A strong sentence that exaggerates to make your writing sound stronger.	She screamed on the ferris wheel as if she was getting touchered and about to be sliced open.
Onomataperor	When you use words like BANG, CRASH, OUCH to show how it would’ve sounded	The cat ran through the house when she heard her tasty treats,  BANG goes the chair that just flipped by that fat cat.
alliteration	By using a range of words that start with the same letter but still makes sense.	The mighty mad monkey made a marvelous movie about moons.
idiom	You use words into a sentence to confuse someone	It's raining cats and dogs.
