3. Figurative Language in Action
The Tangerine Times printed a special pullout section on the Lake Windsor Middle School sinkhole. The photos were spectacular. They had one huge shot of the splintered walkways sticking up in all directions, like Godzilla had just trampled through there.
-- Edward Bloor, Tangerine
Is the phrase the splintered walkways sticking up in all directions literal or figurative? Explain.
…like Godzilla had just trampled through there is a simile. Why is it a simile and not a metaphor? (Don’t use the reason because it has the word ‘like’!) What are the literal and figurative terms?
What is the effect of using this figurative language?
