Do Now. Which is Which?: Decide if the following sentences are examples of metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, alliteration or imagery. Just write the type of figurative language - not the sentence:
1. If you breathe a word of what happened in the forest, I will come to you like a wild tiger in the middle of the night.
2. Abigail is the world's most manipulating liar when she is put on the spot.
3. Reverend Parris has heard Abigail's name is not white.
4. Mrs Putnam made her dear daughter go into the dark, damp, dangerous forest to talk to the dead.
5. Tituba whirled the rooster above her head until he fainted from fear.
The Crucible: Inferences based on direct and indirect characterization:
1. Mary Warren and Mercy Lewis visit with Betty and Abigail and we see yet another side of our Abigail.

2. Get ready... John Proctor is about to make an appearance! Is he an honorable man?
