Some things to be on the look out for when reading.....

Similes- using the words "like" or "as" to compare two objects-
Her eyes glistened like diamonds in the morning sun.

Metaphors-comparing two objects without using the words "like" or "as" -

John was a bear in the morning before his first cup of coffee.

Cindy was a mule. We couldn't get her to see our point of view.

Personification- giving an inanimate object human characteristics

The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky.

The ocean danced in the moonlight.

Onomatopoeia- words used to represent the sound they make- VROOOM, BAM or BUZZ!

Vivid Verbs- verbs that show- you can see the action in your mind

Darted, dashed, sprinted, or lumbered instead of walked

Adjectives- words that describe objects
