Example: My room is so messy that it looks like the dump! This sentence is an example of figurative language, specifically a simile. It uses the word "like" to compare the messy state of the speaker's room to a dump, emphasizing how disorganized and chaotic it is. The meaning behind this simile highlights the extent of the messiness, suggesting that it is not just untidy, but overwhelmingly cluttered and chaotic, similar to the state of a landfill.
In 2-3 sentences, list an example of figurative language (simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, idiom, etc.). Then, using the R.A.C.E strategy (restate, answer, cite evidence, explain evidence) as best you can, explain why your answer is figurative language and what the meaning is. My room is so messy that it looks like the dump!
Example: I was so tired that I could have fallen asleep standing up. This sentence is an example of figurative language, specifically a hyperbole. It is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration. While I was extremely tired and could have easily fallen asleep, it was an exaggeration that I could actually fall asleep while standing up.
