Summary Of Chapter Two Examples Of Figurative Language

Throughout the novel Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser was able to incorporate the use of multiple examples of rhetorical devices to better enhance the meaning and structure of this piece. In doing so Schlosser opened the door to enormous amounts of possibilities in terms of the lessons the readers gain from reading the novel. Without embedding these rhetorical devices into the book all meaning would be lost and would simply be words on a page, however Schlosser was able to provide the opposite of the valueless words. Using devices such as imagery, diction, along with the appeal of like ethos Schlosser was enabled to go deeper into the fast food nation and the harm they cause due to the inexplicable emotions put forth.

Losing a loved one is always seen to be difficult for many to handle and most often leads to a stage of affliction. But what if you came to realize in the midst of coming to terms with their passing, that you could possibly be better off without them?

Living simply and with just enough to get by, the Brangwens are a hardworking folk who cling to a strict adherence to the expected gender roles of the late 1800’s English countryside. While the husband feels satisfied by his grueling work in the fields, his wife remains unfulfilled by her role of managing the home. She craves to explore the unknown, beyond the constraints of their family farm and one-dimensional life.

The gentle glow from the shining lights above reflected joyfully off of the glass cases full of freshly baked bread. The artisans behind the counter carefully packaged each loaf as if it were a newborn baby being swaddled. Directly to my left, I caught sight of the rows upon rows of sugary heaven. The delicious desserts made up what can only be described as a tasty pyramid seen in the dreams of teens amidst a sugar high. I caught sight of the cheerful face of an elderly man looking into the reflective glass covering the pastries. His eyes twinkled as he happily gazed down at the canary yellow smiley face projecting back at him from atop the scrumptious cookie cake. A giggly employee perched at a cute little stand across from the bakery welcomed

An author can take advantage of figurative language for many reasons. Usually the author uses figurative language to make the writing more interesting for whatever crowd they are aim for, despite the many other uses of figurative language. Some of the examples they can use are simile, metaphor, imagery, hyperbole, and foreshadowing. All examples do different things for a writing. Simile is comparing 2 or more things using like or as. Metaphor is an exaggeration not meant to be taken seriously, this just adds a little fun for the reader and maybe even a little laugh or chuckle. Imagery is using descriptive words to help a reader see, hear, taste, smell, or feel what the author is writing about. Hyperbole is kind of like metaphor, they have the

Characters from the novel may remind you of someone in your own life, leaving you feel more connected to the character and story.

In this classroom, students were interpreting and breaking down song lyrics to discover different typed of figurative language, and to explain what they thought the lyrics meant. The first five minutes the students were turning in their “articles of the week.” The teacher took this time to ask the students about their plans for the weekend (it was a Friday). At the beginning of the class the students were listening to a particular song, the teacher picked a newer song that the students enjoyed and stayed engaged listening to. She passed out a paper copy of the lyrics, for the students to follow. Along with a lyric sheet, she gave them another assignment with questions. They were to identify a type of figurative language used in the song. Then at the end they were to pick a topic, three choices were given, to write a short essay on. I knew the students were engaged when because they all seemed to enjoy the song, and it was the quietest classroom I’ve ever been in.

The English language is known as being one of the most difficult languages to learn. There are many reasons for this, a major factor being the use of figurative language. Since the English language is packed with figures of speech is can be very confusing to truly comprehend what someone is trying to get across. This doesn’t just go for the new comers to the English language but also to native English speakers. Throughout this paper I will define and give examples for ten different types of figurative language while providing appropriate usage. These types of figurative language include idiom, analogy, metaphor, simile, cliché, amphiboly, fame word, hyperbole, euphemism, and lastly colloquialism.

Figurative language uses figures of speech to make a language more persuasive, attractive, effective, creative and impactful. It uses words or phrases which have meanings far from their literal interpretations. It means saying something other than what is really meant by using figurative devices like metaphors, similes, allusions, personification, onomatopoeia, idioms, oxymoron, alliterations, puns, irony, and many more. Therefore, metaphors are regarded as representations of something else. They are comparisons between two different things that have something in common. They are not just an unnecessary touch to the prose and poetry, but they are the ways of thinking and shaping our thoughts. Figurative comparisons are the heart of the language

igurative language is the language that expresses one thing in terms of another by analogy, extension, or other association. A critical approach to drama written in verse requires the knowledge of not only of metre but also the function and purpose of the various figures of speech. These should never be only decoration because they are one of the means by which the playwright can develop and express his meaning. The various figures of speech have often been made interchangeable, thus a satisfactory definition of them is difficult to provide. There is a tendency to include symbols, similes, and metaphors making up the imagery. Metaphorical is used to mean figurative and symbolical or symbolizes is often applied to almost any of the figurative
