Authors
use
figures
of
speech
in
their
writing
to
make
the
text
interesting.
They
are
not
meant
to
be
taken
literally.
They
speak
to
the
reader’s
imagination
and
help
the
reader
to
form
a
mental
image
of
the
scene.
A
simile
is
a
figure
of
speech.
It
is
a
comparison
that
uses
the
words
like
or
as.
Here
are
some
examples:
I
flicked
the
switch,
and
the
overhead
light
snapped
on.
It
made
the
room
as
bright
as
the
noonday
sun.
Dad
watched
Drake
sleeping
and
thought
that
he
looked
as
innocent
as
a
newborn
baby.
Gwen
was
so
thin
she
was
bony;
her
mother
said
that
she
ate
like
a
bird.
When
Suzanne
laughed,
she
sounded
like
a
hyena.
A
metaphor
is
another
figure
of
speech.
It
is
a
comparison
that
does
not
use
the
words
like
or
as.
Here
are
some
examples:
My
car
is
a
real
lemon.
A
car
that’s
a
lemon
is
“sour” because it
has
a
lot
of
flaws.
Brian
snapped,
“Quit
being
such
a
crab!”
Brian
is
not
talking
to
an
actual
crab.
He’s
speaking
to
a
person
who
is
being
cross
and
ill-tempered.
William
shielded
his
eyes
and
looked
out
across
the
water
that
sparkled
with
a
thousand
diamonds.
This
is
just
an
interesting
way
to
state
how
the
light
is
reflecting
from
the
water’s
surface.
When
Ms.
Mertz
entered
the
room,
Carter
flew
to
her
and
became
a
clinging
vine,
attached
to
her
leg.
This
is
just
an
interesting
way
to
help
the
reader
envision
how
the
child
acted
the
moment
he
saw
his
mother.
