METAPHOR
HYPERBOLE
SIMILE
Weeeeee!
A metaphor is something that is regarded as something else. Example: "Dara Lynn's got the devil in her tonight."
A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement that is not meant to be taken literally. Example: “He knows I’d rather swim a river full of crocodiles than face Judd Travers.”
A simile is a comparison of two things using "like" or "as". Example: “I’m happy as a flea on a dog.”
