D. Abstraction (15 minutes)

What is Literal Language?

⮚ Literal language by definition does not use figures of speech.
Instead, literal language uses the actual meanings of words
or phrases in their exact sense. Literal language is very
straightforward and to the point. Literal language is precise
and often tells the reader exactly the point. The reader or
listener does not have to extract meaning.

What is Figurative Language?

⮚ In contrast, figurative language uses different figures of
speech to make the content more persuasive or to have a
greater impact. Figurative language uses figures of speech
such as metaphors, similes or an oxymoron to make the
message more meaningful. A writer uses figurative language
to create more interesting and often colorful content.

Types of Figurative Language:

1. Simile- A simile is a figure of speech that compares two

unlike things and uses the words “like” or “as” and they are
commonly used in everyday communication.
Examples:
▪ The boy was as brave as a lion in the jungle.
▪ The assistant was as busy as a bee when she was
preparing the podium for the presidential address.

2. Metaphor- A metaphor is a statement that compares two

things that are not alike. Unlike similes, metaphors do not
use the words “like” or “as.”
Examples:
▪ The warrior has a heart of stone.
 ▪ Baby, you are my sunshine.

3. Hyperbole- Hyperbole is an exaggeration that is created to

emphasize a point or bring out a sense of humor. It is often
used in everyday conversations without the speaker noticing
it.
Example:
▪ I have told you a million times to wash the dishes.
▪ You snore like a freight train.

4. Personification- Personification is the attribution of human

characteristics to non-living objects. Using personification
affects the way readers imagine things, and it sparks an
interest in the subject.
Example:
▪ The car brakes screamed all through the journey.
▪ The radio stared at me.

5. Synecdoche- Synecdoche is a type of figurative language

that uses one part to refer to the whole, or the whole to refer
to the part. For example, a set of wheels can be used to
refer to a vehicle and a suit to refer to a businessman.
Example:
▪ Hired hands can be used to refer to workers.
▪ Head can refer to counting cattle or people.
▪ Green can refer to a forest.

6. Onomatopoeia- Onomatopoeia is a language that names

something or an action by imitating the sound associated
with it.
Example:
▪ My teeth chattered as I stood in the snow.
▪ I heard the corn pop in the microwave.

Music video link: FROZEN | Let It Go Sing-along | Official Disney UK

Music lyric:

"Let It Go"
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!

I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how some distance

Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through
 No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!

My power flurries through the air into the ground

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!
