Simile: eyes twinkled like diamonds, His gorilla-like arms, stretched her neck like a giraffe, as loud as a bomb, as quick as lightning, Metaphor: her instant noodle hair, there's daggers in men's smiles, This classroom is a zoo!, That player is such an ape!, with a platinum smile, Personification: The sun grinned down on us., The branches reached out with wooden fingers., The waves recoiled cautiously, Standing aloof and proud the mountain stretched up into the clouds, The wind seemed to mock him with its howls., Hyperbole: I'm freezing!, She was dying of boredom, I've told you a million times!, The guy weighs a ton!, I could eat a horse!, Alliteration: fixed her fearsome features, She hit her head again, There are many more morons out there., Have you ever once wondered why?, Quiet kids can surprise everyone, Onomatopoeia: The gulls screeched overhead, With a crash, the mirror hit the ground, The door creaked slowly open., The ball landed with a dull thud., And 'flop', he landed face down., Emotive Language: They are fallen heroes, gone too soon, This is an unacceptable abomination!, What a precious, sacred time., We never allow such a devastating tragedy to occur again., Our forgotten, abandoned communities need help., Imagery: The sun glistened off the foamy peaks with a golden sheen, The fine black sands stretched out in soft contours into the distance., Her new black shoes sparkled with a bright, expensive sheen. , Dotted amongst the crowd were the armed security, shining in dark, crisp uniforms and mirrored sunglasses., A dark swirling cloud gathered above the house.,
