Identify which is a simile, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration or personification. 2 x10=20
a. James ran like a cheetah.

b. Samantha sells samosas by the sea shore.

c. After I fell down from the tree my head to spin like a whirlpool.

d. The chair looked as if it waited for me to sit on it.

e. I am so busy. I have a million things to do.

f. She is as lazy as a 90 year old grandma.

g. Susan is a bunburyist who smiles like a cashmere cat.

h. The nanny was as sweet as a candy and as caring as a mother.

i. Betsy baked better bread with bananas, blueberries, and butter.

j. He was a tall giraffe.

a: simile     b: alliteration    c: simile    d: personification    e: hyperbole   f: simile      g: simile      h: simile     i: alliteration  j: metaphor

Explanation: Similes are comparing unlike things with like or as. This means that a, c, g and h are similes. However on d it also uses the word as but it's personification. That's because personification is giving nonliving things human like characteristics. A chair cannot wait, but a human can therefore it's personification. Alliteration is the repetiotion of the beginning sound on a set of words. So because most of the words in b and i start with the same sound, it's alliteration. E is a hyperbole because a hyperbole is an exaggeration. The speaker of the statement doesn't actually have a million things to do, they're exaggerating which makes it a hyperbole. Lastly j is a metaphor because it compares 2 unlike things without using like or as, instead using was. Hope this helps :)
