Similes + Metaphors + Personification = Figurative Language


Metaphors:
Love is a lemon - either bitter or sweet.
Hate is a blindfold put on by people who lack the courage to love.
Life is like a box of chocolates you never what you’re going to get.
Friendship is a phone, you can survive without it.



Similes:

Community meetings are like going to the doctor, boring.
Passes are like great!
The gym is as big as a boat.
Your house smells as if someone died.


Personification:
The moon winked at me through the clouds above.
The bees played hide and seek with the flowers as they buzzed from one to another.
The phone awakened with a mighty ring.
The car was suffering and was in need of some TLC.
