Figure of Speech is defined as “a word or

phrase used in a different way from its usual
meaning in order to create a particular mental
picture or effect.”

Figures of speech are powerful tools in

language that help writers and speakers
convey ideas in more vivid, engaging, and
often memorable ways. They serve multiple
purposes in literature, speech, and everyday
communication, enriching both the meaning
and the experience of language.

Types of Figures of Speech

Simile - a figure of speech involving the
comparison of one thing with another thing of
a different kind, used to make a description
more emphatic or vivid.
Example:
1. Slept like a log
2. Light as a feather

Metaphor - is a figure of speech that makes a

comparison between two non-similar things.
As a literary device, metaphor creates implicit
comparisons without the express use of “like”
or “as.”
Example:
1. Laughter is the best medicine.
2. No man is an island.

Personification - is a figure of speech in which

an idea or thing is given human attributes
and/or feelings or is spoken of as if it were
human. Personification is a common form of
metaphor in that human characteristics are
attributed to nonhuman things.
Example:
1. I like onions, but they don’t like me.
2. That bus is driving too fast.

Irony - is a literary device in which

contradictory statements or situations reveal
a reality that is different from what appears to
be true.
Example:
1. Telling a rude customer to “have a nice
day”
2. Delivering bad news by saying, “the good
news is”

Hyperbole - is a figure of speech and literary

device that creates heightened effect through
deliberate exaggeration. Hyperbole is often a
boldly overstated or exaggerated claim or
statement that adds emphasis without the
intention of being literally true. In rhetoric and
literature, hyperbole is often used for serious,

comic, or ironic effects.

Example:
1. This suitcase weighs a ton.
2. I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.

Pun - is a literary device that is also known as

a “play on words.” Puns involve words with
similar or identical sounds but with different
meanings. Their play on words also relies on a
word or phrase having more than one
meaning.
Example:
1. Her cat is near the computer to keep an eye
on the mouse.
2. This vacuum sucks.

Alliteration – is a literary device that reflects

repetition in two or more nearby words of
initial consonant sounds. Alliteration does not
refer to the repetition of consonant letters
that begin words, but rather the repetition of
the consonant sound at the beginning of
words.
Example:
1. rocky road
2. jumping jacks

 Enrichment Activity: Onomatopoeia - indicates a word that sounds

of speech. Students will be given 10
minutes. Group with the most
identified figures of speech wins.

Group 1: The Lazy Robot

Bobo, the robot, sat on the dusty shelf, his
gears rustling with each clink and clank as he
"thought" about the day's tasks. He had been
programmed to clean, but the only thing he
was good at was napping—talk about a pun-
derful paradox! The vacuum, eager to do its
work, whispered to Bobo, “Wake up,
sleepyhead!” But Bobo merely buzzed, “I’ll
clean tomorrow, the house isn’t going
anywhere!” His rusting arms were stiff, like a
wooden puppet, and he felt more like a couch
potato than a machine built for precision. The
mop, tired of waiting, grumbled to itself, “I
swear, if he doesn’t wake up, I’ll have to do
everything myself!” Bobo, however, had no
care in the world—he had become so
immobile that even his heart seemed to have
fallen into hibernation.

1. Onomatopoeia:
"Clink" (the sound of Bobo’s gears)
"Clank" (another sound from Bobo’s
mechanical parts)
"Buzzed" (the sound Bobo makes,
indicating he’s still active but not doing
much)
"Grumbled" (the sound the mop
makes, personifying it as dissatisfied)
2. Pun:
"Talk about a pun-derful paradox!"
(A play on words—"pun-derful" as a mix
of “wonderful” and “pun” to
humorously describe the robot's
contradictory nature.)
3. Simile:
"Like a wooden puppet" (describing
how stiff Bobo’s arms are, making him
resemble an inanimate object)
"More like a couch potato"
(comparing Bobo’s laziness to the
stereotype of someone who sits around
a lot, doing nothing)
4. Metaphor:
"He fancied himself a hero, a
knight on a grand quest" (Bobo
views himself as something greater
than a cleaning robot, metaphorically
placing himself in the role of a heroic
figure.)
"He had the heart of a lion"
(Exaggerating Bobo's perceived
courage, even though he’s a lazy
robot.)
"He had become so immobile that
even his heart seemed to have
fallen into hibernation"
(Metaphorically suggesting that Bobo’s
lack of movement is so extreme that
even his figurative "heart" is inactive.)
5. Alliteration:
"Rusting arms" (describing Bobo’s
mechanical limbs as they decay)
"Ready to do its work" (describing
the vacuum’s eagerness to clean)
6. Personification:
"The vacuum... whispered to Bobo"
(Giving the vacuum human-like
qualities, as if it can communicate
softly with Bobo.)
"The mop... grumbled to itself"
(Giving the mop a human trait of
complaining about the situation.)

Group 2: The Daring Mouse

The mouse, named Max, scurried across the
floor, his tiny paws making a soft pitter-patter
 Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel, Inc.

that echoed through the empty kitchen. He

was on a mission to steal the last piece of
cheese, which sat under the fridge like a
treasure chest. Max was no ordinary mouse;
he fancied himself a hero, a knight on a grand
quest, his sharp nose twitching with
excitement. Suddenly, a loud squeak sounded
as the fridge door creaked open all by itself—
ironic, because it was supposed to be a closed
fortress! Max grinned, his tiny chest puffing
out like a balloon—he was invincible. He
dashed forward, ready for his great victory,
knowing that no other mouse would dare
challenge him, for he had the heart of a lion,
even if his body was no bigger than a walnut.

1. Onomatopoeia:
"Pitter-patter" (the sound of the
mouse’s paws)
"Squeak" (the sound of the fridge door
creaking)
2. Irony:
"It was supposed to be a closed
fortress!" (The fridge door opened by
itself, defying the mouse’s expectations
of a closed space.)
3. Simile:
"Like a treasure chest" (describing
the piece of cheese under the fridge)
"Like a balloon" (describing how the
mouse’s chest puffed out in pride)
4. Metaphor:
"He fancied himself a hero, a
knight on a grand quest" (The
mouse sees himself as a valiant knight.)
"He had the heart of a lion" (The
mouse has great courage despite his
small size.)
5. Alliteration:
"Tiny paws" (describing the mouse’s
small feet)
"Ready for his great victory"
(describing the mouse’s eagerness to
succeed)
6. Hyperbole:
"He was invincible" (exaggerating the
mouse’s confidence and bravery)
 Generalization "No other mouse would dare
Before we go to the last part of our class, challenge him" (an overstatement of
let’s remember the topic discussed the mouse's perceived superiority)
earlier. 7. Personification:
What is figures of speech? "The fridge door creaked open all by
itself" (The fridge door is given human-like
qualities, as though it can act on its own.)

For what purpose is the figures of

speech?

As a Gabrielian student, which of the everyday communication
figurative speech do you think is the most
useful? And why? Figures of speech are simile, metaphor,
personification, irony, pun, alliteration,
hyperbole, and onomatopoeia.

I think, simile is most useful, because I can

describe things that I cannot describe using
complex words.
