#Personification just wants to help (more of my recent ramblings about #LiteraryDevices and #teaching them to #HighSchool #Students -

During my brief foray into the world of #ELA #education, I found it helpful to give my students a breakdown of some of the most common #metaphors and #similes which easily grow into #symbols and hint at #theme.
So, a few years later, I decided to write about it - because why not?

I went on a bit of a #LiteraryDevices kick for a few weeks, starting with this one:

Some similes and metaphors come up over and over in literature, poetry, pop songs, and the visual arts. Most lend themselves just as easily to larger uses like symbolism theme-ish stuff. In this post, I look at a few easy examples suitable for the classroom.

There are a dozen or so metaphors and symbols so common as to constitute the burgers, fries, and chicken strips on any literary devices menu...

A #metaphor compares two things which aren’t otherwise alike in order to emphasize one or more characteristics of the primary character or situation being described.
A #simile, on the other hand, compares two things which aren’t otherwise alike in order to emphasize one or more characteristics of the primary character or situation being described… and uses “like” or “as” to do so, so it’s a tad less intense.
“You’re an angel” is a metaphor.
“You’re like an angel” is a simile.
These aren’t exactly the same, but they’re close enough that they shouldn’t require multiple worksheets to tell them apart. And just to complicate things, not every description using “like” or “as” is a simile.
#Allusions are one of the trickiest #LiteraryDevices to teach young people, largely because allusions by their very nature expect the reader to already understand people and events generally considered to be “common knowledge.”
You see the problem.
As it turns out, #alliteration is super easy to explain and recognize, but difficult to analyze in terms of its purpose or impact.
It does stuff, but unless someone intuitively “gets it,” it’s tricky to express just what “stuff” it does. This is my effort to explain alliteration to anyone not already enmeshed in its glories.
Thinking in a Simplified World
In this article, I argue that nuance is a protective factor in the fight against cognitive warfare and helps develop critical-thinking skills: thereby acting as a protective factor by inoculating a person's intellect.
