Figurative Language Chart –

While you read, keep an eye out for Fitzgerald’s use of figurative language. In particular, you may want to look for similes (comparisons of two things using like or as), metaphors (comparisons of two things without using like or as), and personification (giving human qualities to nonhuman things).
