The key idea in this interactive exercise designed for high schoolers is that figurative language, especially similes, and metaphors, add layers of meaning to a text. Users examine examples from speeches, ads, movie dialogue, and poems, identify the figurative language, and then use the "Check Your Understanding" link to self-check their work.
