Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.

What is the importance of the patterns of written works towards well written paragraphs

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Very important. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence setting out what will be discussed. The body should contain properly structured sentences (no fragments or runons) containing supporting details—examples, explanations, or events. The concluding sentence should indicate in some way that the topic is completed or hint at the topic of the following paragraph. The writing should be concise but meaningful using well chosen words and avoiding repetition (except for rhetorical effect). Avoid bland words and cliches, and look for verbs that convey two ideas (such as paced for walked nervously) and replace it and they with the names of things.
