Figurative language can take multiple forms such as simile or metaphor.[4]Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia Of Literature says that figurative language can be classified in five categories: resemblance or relationship, emphasis or understatement, figures of sound, verbal games, and errors.[9]A simile[10]is a comparison of two things, indicated by some connective, usually "like", "as", "than", or a verb such as "resembles" to show how they are similar.[11]Example: "His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry.../And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow." (emph added)-Clement Clark Moore[12]A metaphor[13]is figure of speech in which two "essentially unlike things" are shown to have a type of resemblance or create a new image.[14]The similarities between the objects being compared may be implied rather than directly stated.[14]Example: "Fog comes on little cat feet"-Carl Sandburg[15]An extended metaphor is metaphor that is continued over multiple sentences.[16][17]Example: "The sky steps out of her daywear/Slips into her shot-silk evening dress./An entourage of bats whirr and swing at her hem, ...She's tried on every item in her wardrobe." Dilys Rose[18]Onomatopoeia is a word designed to be an imitation of a sound.[19]Example: "Bark! Bark!" went the dog as he chased the car that vroomed past.

Dickinson portrays death as a carriage driver.[21]An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which a pair of opposite or contradictory terms is used together for emphasis. [22]Examples: Organized chaos, Same difference A paradox is a statement or proposition which is self-contradictory, unreasonable, or illogical.[23]Example: This statement is a lie. Hyperbole is a figure of speech which uses an extravagant or exaggerated statement to express strong feelings.[24]Example: They had been walking so long that John thought he might drink the entire lake when they came upon it. Allusion is a reference to a famous character or event.Example: Like Hercules, he is so strong. An idiom is an expression that has a figurative meaning unrelated to the literal meaning of the phrase.Example: You should keep your eye out for him. To keep an eye out for someone means to watch out for it. A pun is an expression intended for a humorous or rhetorical effect by exploiting different meanings of words.Example: I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. "Then it hit me." has two different meanings
