Figurative language is writing or speech not intended to be taken literally. Some commonly used figures of speech are simile, personification, and metaphor. You will see examples of these in this exercise.

A simile makes a direct comparison by using the word like or as. Some examples are: “I watched him falling like a stone” and “He ran like the wind.”

Personification gives human characteristics to non-human things. Some examples are: “The winds came whispering through the forest” and “The stars were dancing in the sky.”

A metaphor makes an indirect comparison without using like or as. Some examples are: “His heart was made of stone” and “The meadow was a carpet of wild flowers.”
