Editor's Notes
- Comparing two things using "like" or "as" that are not the same
- In the first and second examples, it uses the word “as”
- in the third and fourth examples they use the word “like”.
- Comparison is drawn between two unlike ideas without the use of like or as
- This is when the writer invokes the five senses
- In the first example the words “dark” and “dim” are visual images.” “The next example uses “Screaming” and “shouting” appeal to our sense of hearing.
- In the third example the words “Whiff” and “aroma” evoke our sense of smell “ “The last example is the idea of “soft” in this example appeals to our sense of touch”
- Giving human traits or characteristics to something that isn’t human, such as animals, objects or non-living things
- This is where one thing is meant to represent something else.”
