Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph

An example of onomatopoeia would be included in a knock-knock joke; and what about the joke: Knock-knock. Who's there? Boo.  Boo who?Don't cry, I was only joking. Even though it's a joke I'm using onomatopoeia. An example alliteration would be Dan’s dog dove deep in the dam, drinking dirty water as he dove. Meaning the dog played in the mud or a dirty puddle. An example of an internal ryhme would be Now we had arranged, through notes exchanged. Early that afternoon, at number four to dance no more,
But to sit in the dusk, and spoon. I have a hard time figuring out what this means but it's saying the person danced for a long time.

Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph

Basketball's my favorite sport.
I dribble up and down the court.
The ball goes bouncing above my toes
and I hope I will ever be with the pro's.
He stumbles back and grabs his nose
and hits the wall and down he goes.
The other players stop and stare.
They've never heard the teacher swear.
With no one scoring anymore.
I grab the ball. I shoot. I score.
I love this game! It's so much fun.
Coaches cry, but we have won!

And there's no telling if I'm done.

Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph

Literal and figurative language is a distinction in traditional systems for analyzing language.  Meaning that theres more to metaphors and similies and personification. They are not just words, it's words that help you create images that are unothadox. Things that will confuse you if we didn't study these kind of poems, understanding metaphor's will help you understand what the message in a story or poem, same thing as smilies and personification that are figurative languages.
