Flavorful Figures of Speech

Students analyze examples of figurative language from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by identifying whether each passage uses a simile, metaphor, or descriptive phrase. They then explain the effect each example has on the reader, such as creating imagery, setting mood, or emphasizing emotion. This task strengthens literary analysis skills and helps students appreciate Roald Dahl’s vivid, playful writing style.
