Here are a couple of short definitions of these kinds of language that we practiced in class.

            The definition of hyperbole is a description that is exaggerated for emphasis.

1. An example of hyperbole is saying you are so hungry you could eat a horse.
2. Personification is giving human characteristics to non-living things or ideas.
3. An author describing the sun smiling on a field of flowers is an example of personification.
4. The definition of a metaphor is a word or phrase used to compare two unlike objects, ideas, thoughts or feelings to provide a clearer description.
5. An example of a metaphor is calling the dependable father a rock
6. The definition of a simile is a figure of speech where two unlike things are compared using the word "like" or "as" followed by a figurative example.
7. An example of a simile is "He is as hungry as a horse."  
8. An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meaning of its words.
9. "It's raining cats and dogs" is an idiom.
