Introduction

We have been learning about stories in reading and writing for the past few modules. Often, authors use figurative language to help connect a reader to the text and help us understand or think deeply about a text. Figurative language is not literal. It can't be taken for its word. We have to think about what the author intends for it to mean and connect it back to our world!

A type of figurative language that authors sometimes use is a simile.

A 'simile' compares two things using the words 'like' and 'as'. She is as tall as a giraffe. I am as hungry as a hippo. The baby looks like a doll.
