I don't really know how figurative language makes me feel but I guess it makes me feel okay. I don't really have a feeling because I never knew we were supposed to have a feeling. I guess it males me feel good because I am learning something that I don't really know much about. In the poem "The Boy at the Window" by Richard Wilbur they were talking about a snowman and giving him some real life emotions and personality's. An example of personification is " Having no wish to go inside and die" is basically saying that if the snowman had a chance to go inside he would melt and die so he does not go in. An example of metaphore in the poem " The Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare is " And then the lover sighing like funace." The meaning of that was when a man sighs it makes noise and the furnace makes a clinking noise and sounds like is sighs after that. An example of a simile in the poem " Tiburon" by Martin Espada is " A long red car stalled with the hood up roaring salsa like a prize shark mouth yanked open." It means The sound of the car is the sound of the when it was being opened. How do you figure out the meaning of figurative language comparisons?
I figure out the meaning of figurative language by reading the poem careflly and trying to figure out what it means.
