Slide 10 - Diapositive
Metaphor
figure of speech that makes a comparison between two non-similar things.
without the express use of “like” or “as.”
Metaphor is a means of asserting that two things are identical in comparison rather than just similar.

Slide 12 - Diapositive
Simile
Two essentially dissimilar objects or concepts are expressly compared with one another through the use of “like” or “as.”
A proper simile creates an explicit comparison between two things that are different enough from each other such that their comparability appears unlikely.

Simile

Slept like a log
Sly as a fox
Fits like a glove
Cool as a cucumber
Blind as a bat
Light as a feather
Like watching paint dry

Slide 15 - Question ouverte
Metaphor: Implies a comparison by stating that one thing is another. Simile: Explicitly states a comparison using "like" or "as."
Comparison Table Aspect Metaphor Simile Connection States one thing is another. Compares using "like" or "as." Subtlety More implicit and symbolic. More explicit and clear. Examples "The world is a stage." "The world is like a stage."

a word that sounds like what it refers to or describes.
The buzzing bee flew away.
The sack fell into the river with a splash.
The books fell on the table with a loud thump.

Slide 19 - Diapositive
Imagery
Although the aforementioned literary devices are classified as Imagery in the reader, this is not entirely correct.
Imagery is not always figurative.
Imagery refers to the use of vivid and descriptive language to create mental pictures or appeal to the five senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell). It is about painting a sensory experience for the reader.
