Moana Writing

 ~ Moana ~

Moana is a story that takes place around the beautiful Pacific, centred around a young princess, Moana, and the mischievous demigod Maui.

Your task today is to use METAPHORICAL language to describe the people, and places from the movie.Metaphorical language means that we have made a comparison between the thing we are describing,

 and something we all recognise.

Let’s look at 3  different types of metaphorical language… 

Type of Metaphorical Language	How we use it	Example	What I really mean.
METAPHOR	A metaphor is when you say something IS something else.	“Mr Hughes is a teddy bear”	This means Mr Hughes is friendly, and cuddly.
SIMILE	A simile is when you say something is LIKE or AS something else.	“Mr Hughes is as ugly as a crushed pineapple”	Mr Hughes looks like a crushed pineapple
PERSONIFICATION	A personification gives human qualities to something non-human.	“The wind whistled through the trees”	The noise of the wind sounded like somebody whistling.

Your job is to use METAPHORS, SIMILES, AND PERSONIFICATION to describe these things from the movie Moana.
