Figures of Speech

We've got our test tomorrow... so show me what you know! Think of a good example of either a hyperbole, idiom, personification, metaphor, simile or alliteration. Tell us which one you choose and then give the example. Hopefully we all check tonight and get some more studying in! :)

Good luck tomorrow! I know you'll do great! :)
