The Power of the Lion(Figurative Analysis)


Author’s note: This is an analysis on my lion poem. It is about the figurative language used in it.

Figurative language helps us imagine the words on the writing just like it did in this piece. All the uses of figurative language let us imagine the words clearly. It also helped make it fun in the process. Instead of having the lion be explained boringly, the lion was explained colorfully. The tone is praising because I am praising the lion for all the power he has. However the mood showed the readers that lion was a little bit cocky to have himself being explained like this.

Many types of Figurative language was used in this piece. Similes and metaphors helped us compare the lion to other things to know what the lion is like more precisely. Personification was to show how he was in a more fun way. Hyperboles helped us imagine his strength compared to the other animals. Onomatopoeia helped show us how he sounded. The allusion used reminded us of memories of a movie if we had seen it. Lastly the  alliteration helped the beat of the poem instead of having it be in a monotone voice. All these figurative languages hook us into reading the poem because we will like it more because of it.
