Question

could anyone send me figures of speech with explanation?and examples?​

Answer 1

Hi!!

Here's your answer

In this lesson, you will discover how people communicate through figures of speech. You will learn some different types of figures of speech and analyze several examples.

FIGURES OF SPEECH

Figures of speech are plainly defined as saying one thing in terms of something else. What does that mean? Well, it's simple, actually. Whenever you say something, but you don't mean it literally, you are using a figure of speech. Let's say you are about to head out to the store and your mother says, 'Ya better take a jacket; it's raining cats and dogs out there.'

TYPE OF FIGURES OF SPEECH

There are many different types of figures of speech. Two that are closely related are similes and metaphors. A simile is a comparison between two objects using the words 'like,' 'as,' 'seems' or 'appears.' Look at the following example: 'My dog is like a tornado; she dashes through the house, destroying everything she touches.'

The first part contains the simile: the dog is being compared to a tornado. The second part explains the comparison. The dog is like a tornado because she destroys things wherever she goes. The use of the simile gives a better picture of the dog and adds some color to the description.

A metaphor, then, is a comparison between two objects without using the words listed above. Metaphors are usually stated as one object is another object. Look at the following poem by Emily Dickinson:

'Presentiment - is that long shadow - on the lawn -

Indicative that Suns go down -

The notice to the startled Grass

That Darkness - is about to pass -'

In this poem, Dickinson states that presentiment is a shadow. Is presentiment, which means foreboding or anxiety, literally a shadow? Of course not. Dickinson makes the comparison to give a better description of how anxiety can creep up on a person and cause fear.
