Simile Definition

A simile is a figure of speech that makes a 


comparison, showing similarities between two
different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile
draws resemblance with the help of the words
“like” or “as.” Therefore, it is a direct comparison.

Common Examples of Simile :


Our soldiers are as brave as lions.
Her cheeks are red like a rose.
He is as funny as a monkey.
The water well was as dry as a bone.
He is as cunning as a fox.
Metaphor Definition
A Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit,
implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are
unrelated, but which share some common characteristics. In
other words, a resemblance of two contradictory or different
objects is made based on a single or some common
characteristics.

Common Speech Examples of Metaphor

*It is going to be clear skies from now on. (This implies that


clear skies are not a threat and life is going to be without
hardships)
*The skies of his future began to darken. (Darkness is a
threat; therefore, this implies that the coming times are
going to be hard for him.)
*Her voice is music to his ears. (This implies that her voice
makes him feel happy)
*He saw the soul of dust when passing through the dust
storm.
Personification Definition

Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an


idea or an animal – is given human attributes.

The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we


feel they have the ability to act like human beings. For
example, when we say, “The sky weeps,” we are giving the
sky the ability to cry, which is a human quality. Thus, we
can say that the sky has been personified in the given 
sentence.  With the above definition of personification, let us
look at some personification examples.

Common Examples of Personification:


* Look at my car. She is a beauty, isn’t she?
* The wind whispered through dry grass.
* The flowers danced in the gentle breeze.
* Time and tide wait for none.
* The fire swallowed the entire forest.
Definition of Hyperbole

Hyperbole, derived from a Greek word meaning “over-


casting,” is a figure of speech that involves an 
exaggeration of ideas for the sake of emphasis.
It is a device that we employ in our day-to-day speech. For
instance, when you meet a friend after a long time, you say,
“It’s been ages since I last saw you.” You may not have met
him for three or four hours, or a day, but the use of the word
“ages” exaggerates this statement to add emphasis to your
wait. Therefore, a hyperbole is an unreal exaggeration to
emphasize the real situation. Some other common
Hyperbole examples are given below.

Common Examples of Hyperbole :


* My grandmother is as old as the hills.
* Your suitcase weighs a ton!
* She is as heavy as an elephant!
* I am dying of shame.
* I am trying to solve a million issues these days.
Definition of Symbolism
Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by
giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal
sense.
Symbolism can take different forms. Generally, it is an object
 representing another, to give an entirely different meaning that is
much deeper and more significant. Sometimes, however, an action,
an event or a word spoken by someone may have a symbolic value.
For instance, “smile” is a symbol of friendship. Similarly, the action
of someone smiling at you may stand as a symbol of the feeling of
affection which that person has for you.

Short Examples of Symbolism in Sentences :


* Ching Chua gave his wife a red rose. (In Chinese culture, the color
red symbolizes property and happiness.)
* David stopped his car at the red signal. (In other cultures, the
color red is symbol of blood, passion, and danger.)
* Rebels raised a white flag to negotiate. (During war, the color
white symbolizes making peace with the enemy. Otherwise, it
represents purity and life.)
* The Red Cross is working around the world. (The symbol of the
cross represents Christianity, and the red cross in particular
represents aid in times of need.)
