Student will recall the topic Figure of Speech
Figures of speech constitute a rhetorical or literary device that departs from the literal meaning of an idea. They may be employed to make the articulation of an otherwise familiar idea more vivid and more colorful. Among the figures of speech are:
1. Simile-indirect comparison of ideas using like or as
Example: Mr. Mayamot is like a hungry tiger when he gets furious.
2. Metaphor more direct than simile
Example: When he gets furious, Mr. Mayamot is one hungry tiger.
3. Personification using human attributes in describing nonhuman or inanimate objects
Example: The country wants us to perform our civic duties.
4. Parallelism-use of the same grammatical structure
Example: Peace can only be achieved through dedication, peace can only be achieved through diligence, peace can only be achieved through fidelity to the rule of law.
5. Apostrophe addressing a person who is either dead or absent when
the utterance is made
Example: Mabini, Bonifacio, Rizal, let your guiding spirits influence our leaders in this time of great crisis!
6. Metonymy-substitution of a word/phrase for an idea to which it is closely related (say, an author for his/her works)
Example: I cannot help crying when I read Carlos Bulosan (a Filipino expatriate writer).
7. Allusion comparison that involves making references to a famous fictional or historical figure, event or idea
Example: Only five years old, this child prodigy, this Mozart has composed at least a dozen short piano pieces and performed in the Philippine Musical Center.
8. Rhetorical Question-a question that is not meant to be answered because the answer is obvious
Example: Has information technology advanced slowly or by leaps and bounds?
9. Hyperbole use of exaggeration to emphasize an idea
Example: I was so hungry I could eat a hundred cups of rice.
10. Synecdoche-the "part" to represent the "whole"
Example: Ka Herming was the brains and the heart of the movement during those dark days of the dictatorship.
