▪ There are 5 types of analogies:

• Metaphor-is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects. Metaphors differ from similes in that the two objects are not compared, but treated as identical.
• Comparison-in grammar is a property of adjectives and adverbs in most languages; it describes systems that distinguish the degree to which the modifier modifies its complement. (Example- Good, better, best)
• Allegory-is using words to convey a meaning other than (and in addition to) the literal. It is a representative type of communication.
• Parable-A parable is a story in prose or verse that is told to illustrate a (perhaps covert) religious, moral, or philosophical idea.
o Figurative language-Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language.
▪ Simile -A simile uses the words “like” or “as”
to compare one object or idea with another to suggest they are alike.
Example: busy as a bee
▪ Metaphor -The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison.
A simile would say you are like something; a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.
Example: You are what you eat.
▪ Personification -A figure of speech in which human characteristics are given
to an animal or an object. Example: My teddy bear gave me a hug.

Alliteration includes tongue twisters. Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.
