Figurative Language
Simile: A figure of speech in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox, Life is like…)
Metaphor: a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something important in common (e.g., The goalkeeper was a rock, The car was a speeding bullet)
Figurative Language
Personification: a figure of speech when an object is giving human qualities. (e.g., Oreo: Milk’s favorite cookie, The wind whistled and groaned)
Idiom: A set expression of two or more words that means something other than the literal meanings of its individual words. (e.g., I worked the graveyard shift last night, We will find the treasure if we play our cards right)
Figurative Language
Hyperbole: A figure of speech where a statement is an obvious and intentional exaggeration.
(e.g., I was so hungry, I could of ate a horse!; He ran like greased lightning.)

Example of Refrain“It was not I that ate the pie”Bobby said that he would give me his right shoe
For a piece of the sweet treatAnd I thought that it would be nice to have another shoeBut no,It was not I that ate that pie
Jimmy caught a sniff while sneaking through our yard He would give me a fistful of mice for just one sliceI told him I needed a left shoe,But no,It was not I that ate that pie
Then Mary walked by my door,I told her she could test the restFor the the smallest peck,But no,It was not I that ate that pie.
