Figurative Langauge Hunt

This document contains a figurative language hunt where the student has identified examples of different types of figurative language - simile, metaphor, allusion, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idiom, and alliteration - from a book. For each example identified, the student provides the page number where it can be found in the book and writes out the example. The student also analyzes each example by identifying the two things being compared in similes and metaphors, the reference being alluded to, what is being exaggerated, the repeated words in the alliteration example, the sound represented in the onomatopoeia example, and what cannot literally happen in the idiom example.
