Figurative Language
"Thin as a soda straw the slate pencil was
wrapped in red, white and green paper, the colors
spiraled as on a barber's pole."
<u>Here, we can see that there is a use of simile and metaphors to compare the pencil to a soda straw to show how thin it is and to show that the colors spiraled which does not happen in real. </u>

Literal Language
'The slate was set in a wooden frame decorated with
red and green stripes. In one corner there was a small
hole in the frame for the string to which the slate pencil
was tied. '
