A. Literal = It means exactly what it says. Example: Julia scares easily. She screams loudly too.
B. Figurative = Use language creatively and what you say has a deeper meaning, not literal. Example: That girl is a scaredy-cat. She screams, “AAAHHH!”
Figures of speech include: Alliteration, idiom, hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile and onomatopoeia.
💜Practice identifying as SIMILE or METAPHOR; they both compare 2 different things but while METAPHOR is a DIRECT comparison, SIMILE uses key words, mostly LIKE or AS: https://wordwall.net/resource/76350684

As they explore the factory, they go into a room that has a new experimental chewing gum. Mr. Wonka explains that the gum is a three-course dinner that includes a blueberry pie for dessert, but it isn't ready yet. Violet wants to try the new invention and ignores Mr. Wonka's warning. Violet continued chewing until it was too late to stop. When she got to the dessert, she started to transform into a blueberry. Mr. Wonka summons two Oompa-Loompas and asks them to roll Violet to the Juicing Room. "We've got to squeeze the juice out of her immediately." He said.
