Figurative language is writing or speech that is not meant to be taken literally.
Example: The cold wind cut through my jacket like a knife.
The wind didn’t ACTUALLY cut through my jacket, but it felt like it.

A simile is a the comparison of one thing to another that uses like or as. (A is like B)
Examples: The goalie was like a rock. Her smile is like the sun. My brother is as dirty as a pig.

A metaphor is a the comparison of one thing to another without the use of like or as. (A = B)
Examples: The goalie was a rock. Her sunshine smile lit up the room. My brother is a pig.
None of these things are ACTUALLY true, but we understand what they mean.

Personification is when human characteristics are given to non-human things. Tip: Notice that PERSONification means to
make something like a person.
Example: The ice cream was begging me to eat it.
