Writing Lessons

Writing

IALA: Figurative Language

Similie

Everyday the kia manawanui syndicate class does writing. On our first session similes. I never knew what similes was but what I think similes is when you are using the words as or like to describe to different things. For example As boring as watching paint dry.

Metaphor

Then we did Metaphor. Metaphor is when you compare two dissimilar things. Dissimilar mean when you take out the dis it makes it similar and when you add dis it makes it dissimilar also dissimilar means different, unlike, unique.

Onamatopoeia

The next day we did Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia means when you are using sound effects to your story to make it more interesting and it is a example of BANG!!! as the car drove through the tree.

Personification

Then when we were finished we did a type of figurative writing called Personification writing. Personification is when you are giving human qualities to nonhuman things.

Hypebole

Hyperbole is when you are using an exaggeration that is unlikely to be true. When I saw it I thought it was when you are repeating something but it is not the right one.

Alliteration

Alliteration means when most of the word in your story starts with the same letter but I personally thought that it means that you have to repeat something as well as.
