Thank you so much for the great video. I’m actually from Iran(born and raised) and was struggling with this subject in Eng literature class. Very helpful video, appreciate it
@@kimorahuamusse1284 I actually liked it not that u asked but ur opinion but don’t tell ppl that, I could hurt there feelings cause I bet he worked hard
I love this. You explain everything so well. Wish me luck for tomorrow! I have to read a whole 3 pages and identify different types of figurative language on front of 30 7th graders -_-
I've got a report about figurative language tomorrow and I'm probably gonna disappoint my teacher because guess what, I did everything but do my research and she gave the assignments a week ago

I have to be honest. At first, I thought, this video isn't gonna get anywhere. I have to say though, that it surprised me, and it was totally worth watching it till the end.
12:09 The answer key, a flash in the pan, so coy as to even lift her veil of translucency before retreating into the light, seeming uncommitted, stands briefly as a monument to apathy.
Am I the only person who gets irritated by people speaking using SIMILES...when, like, all they mean, like, is to punctuate their, like, sentences with, like, like, and all they achieve, like, is the effect, like, of a car, like, with a misfiring, like, engine, and it gets, uncomfortable, like, to listen to and you, like, start to BOIL, like, inside, like, metaphorically speaking, and the smile on your face, like, drops to your boots, like, metaphorically speaking, like, and you hear, like, your own scream, like, internally, welling up from inside your soul, like, if anyone knows where that metaphor, like, actually exists, metaphorically speaking....like...(yawn) (sound of distant winds approaching....)
Watched the whole thing didn't learn anything I didn't know. Passed the time at least I am in school from 6:00 am - 1:00 pm but if I procrastinate and don't do anything, my free time which is 1:00 pm - 10:30 pm will be my work time. That is 2 hours more work I have to do.
Great content, its helping me with my class. However, I have a question about your simile examples. You say the basketball player being as tall as a bookcase isn't a simile, because it could literally be true. but you said as quiet as the quartet waiting for the downbeat is a good simile. Being quiet isn't hard, so i find it very easy for something to literally be that quiet. How is the other example not a simile, but that one is?
I see your point. I guess what I think is good about the quartet example is not that they are equally quiet in terms of decibels, which as you correctly point out could be literally true, but that the simile conveys an intensity of focus and breath-holding anticipation. Thanks for pointing this out, Clinton!
Terri Landry Pele is a soccer player (very popular ) and he’s black like his dog , but I don’t understand the lazy part. Pele (the soccer player) never was lazy.

the way I like to think of it is from the mind of Steven Wright
"A metaphor is like a simile"
I have to be honest. At first, I thought, this video isn't gonna get anywhere. I have to say though, that it surprised me, and it was totally worth watching it till the end.

Am I the only person who spotted the irony of his dog being named Pele, and being lazy? LOL, watched this in class and I was the only one laughing.
Terri Landry same though

This is truly helpful!! But the thumbnail pic looks so plain😂. It'll be too bad if people skipped your video because of it.
Yeah, that picture looks pretty trippy!
They'll interpret what you say in their own favor even if you don't. You do you.
