—Metaphors are phrases that describe several characteristics of something by comparing it with something else. Another way to look at metaphors is as symbols--images that represent something other than themselves.
—Examples:
¡That car is a dream. (perfect, beautiful)
¡Time marches on. (steadily, constantly, deliberately)
¡This class is hell. (difficult, cursed, impossible to escape, haunting)
¡I want to get off this merry-go-round of stress. (never-ending, confusing, giddy, never-progressing)
PERSONIFICATION
—Personification is one of the most commonly used and recognized literary devices. It refers to the practice of attaching human traits and characteristics with inanimate objects, phenomena and animals.
—Example:
¡“The raging winds”
¡“The wise owl”
¡“The warm and comforting fire”
