EQ: Which poetic devices fall under the figurative language category?
Which one of the following is more appealing to your senses? Why? Where do you see examples of figurative language?
- Writing Sample One: The beach is my favorite place to go. I dip my toes into the cold water, and the seagulls chirp above. I eat my greasy French fries and stare out at the water. I could stare at the waves all day, and the noise clears my mind. As I walk through the sand, I sink slightly with each step. Ah, summer.
- Writing Sample Two: Crash, crash, crash. The waves knock against the shoreline, foam creeping up the sand like a cat after its prey. As I dip my feet into the cold water, I hear squawking above. Chatty seagulls circle around me, eyeing my French fries. It’s as if a million birds are blocking the sunlight as they circle above. With the last bite of my French fries, the seagulls disappear like a magician’s card, fast. My feet, frantic for footing on the sand hills, sink with each step. Summer is freedom.
