exaggeration -overstatement of the

 You have learned that writers use
figurative language to create vivid
pictures in their reader’s minds. Also
known as figures of speech, figurative
language has several types.
Personification- gives human qualities to
inanimate or nonliving objects, animals,
or ideas. It can affect the way the reader
imagines things.
Hyperbole- is an exaggeration to create
effect. It adds color and depth to the
character.
Read the poem aloud with
expression.
Hey Diddle, Diddle
By Mother Goose
 Hey diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon., so
you know.
 1. What did the little dog do?
2. What about the dish?
3. Do you think the dog and the dish can laugh
and ran away?
4. What does it mean when the little dog
laughed?
5. What does the line “and the dish ran away
with the spoon” mean?
6. Who can laugh and ran away?
 Therefore, in this case, the non-
humans like the dog and the dish act
like human beings and are given
human qualities. This is called
PERSONIFICATION.
 Here are other examples:
The human trait assigned to the subject
and the subject of the personification
are in bold letters.
-The waved sighed as they gently kissed
the shore.
-The flowers bowed as I passed by.
Read the poem aloud.
 MY DOG
His bark breaks the sound barrier
His nose is as cold as an ice box
A wag of his tail causes hurricanes
His jumping causes falling rocks
He eats a mountain of dog food
And drinks a water fall dry
But though he breaks the bank
He’s the apple of my eye.
-adapted (anonymous)
 1. What happens when the dog barks?
2. In real life, if a dog barks, can it really break the
sound barrier?
3. What does it mean when it says his bark breaks the
sound barrier?
4. What happens when the dog jumps?
5. Do you think if the dog jumps, it can really cause
rocks to fall?
6. What does it mean when the poem says his jumping
causes falling rocks?
 In this case, the author
exaggerates what the dog does to
create effect. This is called
HYPERBOLE.
 Here are other examples:
-I have waited hundred years for
your email to arrive.
-I will swim the ocean for you.
A personification is an object, thing
or animal that acts like a human
being while hyperbole is an
exaggeration and is not meant to be
taken literally.

Writers/ poets use figurative language to
make their ideas more descriptive, more
colorful, and more concise. They may use
comparisons between unlike objects with
similar qualities (simile and metaphor).
 They may use exaggerations for effect
(hyperbole). Sometimes they also make
inanimate objects do actions of humans or
have human characteristics
(personification).
ACTIVITY
Create a Hands-on Poem
 Instruction: Mix and match the verb
with the object. Work with a partner to
write a silly poem using at least three of
the matches. It doesn’t have to make
sense; it just has to be fun!
