. . . the noblest ministry of nature is to stand as the apparition of God. It is the
organ through which the universal spirit speaks to the individual, and strives
to lead back the individual to it. [973]

Summary
Lester R. Brown discusses several environmental challenges facing global food security in his book, including soil erosion, aquifer depletion, and rising temperatures. In chapters 1 through 9, he notes that soil erosion from deforestation and overfarming is leading to dust bowls and dust storms, degrading the land's ability to grow food. Additionally, overpumping of groundwater aquifers to irrigate crops is causing their decline and eventual depletion in many regions. Climate change is also a looming threat, as rising temperatures melt ice sheets and glaciers, potentially disrupting food production and raising sea levels to inundate low-lying agricultural lands.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGEUnit 6 Lesson 1ObjectivesExplain
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
Unit 6: Lesson 1
Objectives:
Explain the concept of 'figurative language' as it pertains to elements of literature
Understand and explain the various types of figurative language
Identify the types of figurative language in a reading selection
Directions:
Step 1: Read the lesson on Figurative Language.
Step 2: Complete Lesson 1 Part A, B, & C Assignments below.
Figurative language
is often defined as any language that is not literal. This means, the writer uses words to create meaning that may be hidden. They might be trying to say that the water is beautiful, but instead say the water is ‘as blue as a precious topaz stone’. Doesn’t it sound more interesting than just saying, the water is beautiful? The trick or puzzle here is that the reader is left to “figure” out what the writer is trying to say! Let’s look at some examples of Figurative Language.
There are many types of figurative language, they include, but are not limited to the following:
1.
Alliteration
– The repetition of the same or very similar consonant sounds in words that are close together.
For example
:
a. The slight sloshing sensation of the ocean moves silently.
b. Yesterday Ulysses used a yellow paint pallet.
2.
Analogy
: A comparison between two things. It can be a comparison, a simile, a metaphor, or other type of comparison.
3.
Hyperbole
– When something is over-stated. (*Tip to remember- When someone is hyper, how do they behave? They over-react and are often loud etc.)
For example
:
When dad and I went fishing, we must have caught a million fish!
4.
Imagery
: Suggests a mental picture of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, feelings, or other impressions. May be verbal or visual.
5.
Inference
: What idea can you INFER from the selection? The reader makes a decision based on interpretation, not direct statements.
6.
Metaphor
– A comparison between two completely different things
without
using the words “like” or “as” in the statement.
For example
:
a. The Ocean is a gleaming blue bowl.
b. The river is a mirror.
7.
Simile
– A comparison between two different things
using
the words “like” or “as” in the statement.
For example
:
a. Susan is as pretty as a picture.
b. The leaves on the trees shine like glass.
8.
Tone
– How the author feels about his or her subject. The author's style conveys the tone in literature. Tone may be expressed as the author's attitude.
9.
Personification
– is one type of figurative language where an idea, object or abstract concept (i.e. Father Time or Mother Earth), is given human characteristics. In simpler terms, we take something that is not human, like a tree and give it qualities a person would possess (
person
ifying).
For example
:
a. The tall oak tree salutes every visitor that comes to the park. In this example, the tree isn’t really saluting anyone, but the reader can visualize a tall tree standing straight in the air like a general saluting someone as they pass by.
