    MIDNIGHT SNACK
    By: Carrie Carter
    I was a hungry lion
    When I woke up late one night
    My tummy started growling
    And so, I flipped on the light.

    The stairs all groaned beneath me


    As I crept quiet as a mouse
    My belly was rumbling thunder
    As I wondered through my house.

    I saw my brother's cupcake


    And it called to me by name
    I knew I shouldn't take a bite
    But I tasted it all the same.
    MIDNIGHT SNACK
    By: Carrie Carter

    Sly as a fox I turned around


    My brother asked me what I've done
    I felt a frog stuck in my throat
    And the cat had gotten my tongue.

    Then I thought he'd blow his top


    As I wiped frosting off my cheek
    But he smiled sweet as pie and said
    You’ll be doing the chores all week.
    Figures of Speech
    • Use of words or phrases in a non-literal way to
    create a particular effect or meaning in writing or
    speech.
    Example:
    • He ran fast (Literal)

    • He ran like the wind. (Figurative)


    Simile
    - a stated comparison formed with the words "like" or
    "as" between two fundamentally dissimilar things that
    have certain qualities in common.

    Example:
    1. Renan and Louie fought like cats and dogs.
    2. Chiara's smile is as bright as the sun.
    Metaphor
    - is an implied comparison between two unlike things that have
    something in common.
    - metaphors are like similes except that they leave out the words
    "like" or "as."
    Example:
    1. Her eyes are radiant sapphires.
    2. "Hope is the thing with feathers--
    That perches in the soul--"
    - Emily Dickenson, "Hope is the Thing with
    PERSONIFICATION
    - endows human qualities or abilities to inanimate objects or abstract.
    - gives human characteristics to non-human things.

    Example:
    The waves slapped the shore and dragged away everything
    not anchored down.
    HYPERBOLE
    - a figure of speech that uses exaggerated or extravagant
    statements to create a strong emotional response.
    - a device used in day-to-day speech.

    Example:
    It's been ages since I last saw you.
