Response

To solve this, we analyze each example using the figures of speech:

Example 1: "My teacher is a dragon."
  • Metaphor: Compares teacher to dragon (no "like"/"as"), so metaphor.
Example 2: "The tears that students were dribbled spread like wildfire."
  • Simile: Uses "like" to compare tears spreading to wildfire.
Example 3: "I’m drowning in homework this week."
  • Hyperbole: Exaggerates homework load (can’t literally drown in homework).
Example 4: "Those crunchy leaves crackled underfoot as we walked through the autumn forest."
  • Onomatopoeia: "Crackled" imitates the sound of leaves.
Example 5: "The bacon sizzled loudly in the hot pan, releasing a mouth - watering aroma that filled the entire kitchen."
  • Onomatopoeia: "Sizzled" imitates the sound of bacon cooking.
Example 6: "The engine coughed and sputtered before roaring to life."
  • Personification: Gives engine human - like actions (coughed, sputtered).
Example 7: "I’m feeling under the weather today"
  • Idiom: "Under the weather" is a common idiom meaning unwell.
Example 8: "This class was a total zoo when we had a substitute teacher."
  • Metaphor: Compares the class to a zoo (no "like"/"as").
Example 9: "The detention room was as welcoming as a prison cell."
  • Simile: Uses "as" to compare detention room to prison cell.
Example 10: "Don’t be a Grinch, come and join the holiday fun!"
  • Allusion: Refers to the Grinch (a well - known character).
Example 11: "With its sagging windows and peeling paint, the rundown house appeared depressed."
  • Personification: Gives the house human - like emotion (depressed).
Example 12: "She felt like a real - life Cinderella story after winning the prestigious scholarship."
  • Allusion: Refers to Cinderella (a well - known story).
Example 13: "His messy room was a disaster zone."
  • Metaphor: Compares messy room to disaster zone (no "like"/"as").
Example 14: "The alarm clock screamed at me to wake up."
  • Personification: Gives alarm clock human - like action (screamed).
Example 15: "I’m so tired I could sleep for a year"
  • Hyperbole: Exaggerates how long one could sleep.
Example 16: "I got power, poison, pain, and my inside my DNA" (from Kendrick Lamar)
  • Alliteration: Repetition of "p" sound in "power, poison, pain".
Example 17: "You’ll be left in the dust, unless I stuck by you. You’re a sunflower" (from Post Malone, Swae Lee)
  • Metaphor: Compares "you" to a sunflower (no "like"/"as").
Example 18: "Just like a moth drawn to a flame... Oh, you lured me in... I couldn’t sense the pain" (from Shawn Mendes)
  • Simile: Uses "like" to compare being lured to a moth to a flame.
Example 19: "Sing song when I’m walking home... Jump to the top, LeBron" (from BTS)
  • Allusion: Refers to LeBron James (a well - known athlete).
Example 20: "I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, Cause I remember it all too well" (from Taylor Swift)
  • Metaphor: Compares "I" to a crumpled piece of paper (no "like"/"as").
Example 21: "Tell the mirror what you know she’s heard before. I don’t wanna be you, anymore" (from Billie Eilish)
  • No clear figure (or open to interpretation, but maybe metaphor if mirror is symbolic, or idiom - like).
Example 22: "When your legs don’t work like they used to before, and I can’t sweep you off of your feet" (from Ed Sheeran)
  • Simile: Uses "like" to compare leg function to before; "sweep you off your feet" is an idiom (but main comparison is simile).
