In this activity, we are going to be looking at zoomorphism.

 

boy with question marks

 

Zoomorphism is a literary device where a human, god, or an inanimate object is given animal-like qualities.

 

Have you ever wondered what animal you'd be and why?

 

A group of African animals

 

Let's have a think about this together...

 

Imagine someone had been likened to a monkey.

 

It might mean that they are loud, mischievous, and have a lot of energy as this is often how monkeys are depicted. 

Got it?

 

A cute monkey face.

 

What sort of animal do you think might be a good one to describe the kind of person that you are?

 

Let's have a go at some questions now.
