Answer:

these are all figures of speech used in american English. A metaphor and simile are comparisons. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". A simile is a comparison using the words "like" or "as". A hyperbole is an exaggeration or make something seem more outrageous than it actually is. Personification is when you as the writer give non living object personal feelings or actions. hope that helps! :)

Explanation:

Examples:

Metaphor: My dog is a pig

Simile: my son eats like a wild animal

Hyperbole: My dog flew out the window at my grandma's house

Personification: The trees were swaying to the music

Elbow uses a smile to explain that freewriting is like writing somethings and putting it in a bottle in the sea. What does this

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, a <em>simile </em>is a literary device used to compare two things that are not exactly alike, but done to make a clear description.

By such comparison, Elbow (Peter Elbow) views freewriting as closing one's mind to spelling, grammatical errors, and the likes when they are writing thoughts on their mind; in effect, they've put their thoughts in a bottle free of examination.
