Direct Instruction

Figurative language is used everywhere in all forms of literature to help the reader or listener create an image and gain a better understanding of what he/she is expressing.

Guided

Choose two of the three pieces of figurative language below and then analyze:

How does the author use figurative language to communicate an idea? (you can use yesterday's sentence  starters as a guide).

1. Out, out brief candle! Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more (Macbeth - page 202 - also on wall).

2. Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it. (Macbeth page 34).

3. The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud because
No cloud was in the sky
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly. (Walrus and the Carpenter)
