DIRECTIONS: Write whether each example of figurative language is a simile, a metaphor, or an extended metaphor. Identify the two things being compared. Finally, briefly explain the effect of the figurative language. 1. The hockey players were sleepwalkers until the fourth quarter, when they rallied and won the game. 2. Reggie lent me a coat to wear, but it was as thin as tissue paper. 3. The housing market bubble began in the early 2000s. Over the next few years, easy access to mortgage loans inflated the bubble.
