figurative language (n) language that does not mean exactly what it says
Here are some examples from "The Watsons go to Birmingham."
simile (n) a comparison between two things using like or as
He was as stuck as a fly on flypaper. (p. 13)
metaphor (n) a comparison between two things without using like
The fly was still stuck and buzzing. (p. 13)
Students: Create a post like mine, finding two more metaphors and two more similes from chapter 1 of "The Watsons go to Birmingham." Give your post the title: "similes and metaphors."
