Activity Overview


Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has many examples of figurative language, including personification and similes. In this activity, students can display their understanding of figurative language by identifying examples, and creating a literal or figurative portrayal of the figurative language.


  • Simile: She waited a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further... for it might end, you know, said Alice to herself, ‘in my going out altogether, like a candle.
  • Personification: Is that all? said Alice, swallowing down anger as well as she could.
  • Simile: The executioner went off like an arrow.
