Create a character description using figurative language.

Figurative language such as simile (comparing objects using ‘like’ or ‘as though’) and metaphor (stating two
unlike objects are the same) is effective for describing subtle precise qualities and appearances.

For example:

His dopey expression made him look as


though he was always half-sedated.
Her thin, uptight mouth was a door on a
latch, poised to shut fast at any sign of
trouble or disagreement and stay that
way ’til the coast was clear.

The first example (simile) conveys a


character’s sleepy, befuddled
appearance.

The second (a metaphor) gives us


associations by stating one thing is
another. The stand-in object (the latched
door) tells us something about the first,
the character’s mouth (in this case, the
image suggests a mistrustful and
conflict-averse person).

Pick one of the following characters and


using the figurative language sheet and
the examples above create a figurative
character description of your chosen
character.

1. The Warden
2. Luna Lovegood
3. Luisa (from Encanto)
4. Surf strider (Fortnight)
