Figurative language allows the author to add depth and richness to their writing. For example:
- My dog is a carnivore. Good, solid factual sentence, but it lacks pizzazz.
- In the kitchen, when I’m cooking, my dog is a tap dancer. Can you picture my dog, Pitt, dancing around the kitchen trying to get some food? This example is a metaphor and adds pizzazz!
Today I want you to post a brief description of your writing AND I want you to add some pizzazz! Describe your writing using personification, simile, metaphor or onomatopoeia.
Remember –
- personification gives human thoughts, feelings, characteristics, personality to an inanimate object. Such as; my desk misses me today while I’m home sick.
- simile is a comparison that uses like or as. I’m as sick as a flat tire today.
- metaphor describes one thing as if it were another. The hurricane cold hit after days of spinning just off shore.
