CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
The role of the language as a tool of communication is very
important. Generally, there are many countries in the world, and they have
different languages. It can see the example of different languages in the world
like an Indonesian language that is used by Indonesian people. English
language is used among English people etc. They use the different language
to communicate among their own societies, but if they want to communicate
with other countries, they can use English language as an international
language. International language has purpose to make their interaction
effectively, although they have different language background. So, the people
need more than one language to communicate and to interact with others
among their region or countries.
The people sometimes use more than one language to communicate
with others. It happens because when someone is going to a different country,
she/he has to understand the language in which those people use. With other
word we must master the target language.
Movie is form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and
sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement.
(http://www.thefreedictionary/movie.html, last access 19th march). Movie is
part of human’s life. Movie is entertainment, knowledge, and education for
people. Movie invites audience to come into new world, new life as if the
viewers live there. The orientate it is as a literal art, communication and
literature.
Literary language is sometimes defined in terms of its deviations from
or distorstions of ordinary language. Like most generalizations, this idea is
both useful and misleading. It suggest thet literary texts are characterized by
the use of figures of speech or tropes. (Adrew Bernett and Nicholas Royle An
introduction to literature, critism and theory. Key Critical Concepts
1995:65).
Literature is a kind of art, usually written, that offers pleasure and
illumination. It is usually written, for there is oral literature. (X.J Kennedy
Literature An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama 1983:65)
From that point of view, inside of literary, language is a particular
kind of system for encoding and decoding information. The language itself
can divide into spoken and written once. In language system, while in the
written language, it is the representation of the spoken, which is very helpful
for communication.
In modern times, a large number of artificial languages have been
devised, requiring a distinction between their consciously innovated type and
natural language.
Figurative language is language using figures of speech, is language
that cannot be taken literally. (Laurence Perrine, An introduction to poetry
1978:61)
February 13, 2009 was adapted into a film by summit Entertainment.
The film was directed by P. J. Hogan and stars Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy as
protagonist. Screenplay was adapted by Tim Firth and Tracey Jackson.
Confession of a Shopaholic debut, young and adult Comedy, Drama,
Romance and Adaptation film by author Sophie Kinchella.
Confession of a Shopaholic is gripping blend of Comedy and
Romance: describes about Rebecca Bloomwood “infatuation with shopping”,
in that film she has good relation with her friends. This is dialogue using
figurative language.
For example:
Rebecca (Little Girl): Real prices got you shiny (00:00:44).
Mom prices got you brown things (00:00:48).
I saw another world (00:01:04)
A dreamy world full of perfect things (00:01:06)
Language used in literary work has specification based on languages

Shopaholic movie”.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL REVIEW OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
A. Figurative Language and its kinds
In this chapter, the writer will describe figurative language. The term
of figurative language here described as particular way for expressing idea and
feeling. The writer has done some literature review on books, journal, and
websites. Those terms include figurative expressions that will be used in this
thesis and also definition of Confession of a Shopaholic movie. This literature
review will attach some definitions, descriptions and elaborations as the
theoretical foundation of the study.
According to X.J Kennedy that figure of speech may be said
whenever a writer or speaker, for the sake of emphasis or freshness, departs
from the ordinary denotations of words. From the above quotation, figurative
language is a way to reflect the characteristic of the film and the way the
writer think. Figurative language used not in usual literal sense but
imaginative way. Figures of speech are not devices to state what is
demonstrably untrue. Indeed they often state truths, and they lend emphasis.
Figurative language is one which literally in compatible term, forces
the readers to attend the connotation rather than to the denotation. Kreidler
affirms (1998: 44-45), the connotation is part of meaning, the effective or
emotional associations is elicits, which clearly not be the same for all people
who know and use the word. It is refers to the personal aspect of meaning, the
11
emotional associations that the word arouses. The denotation identifies the
central aspect of word meaning, which everybody generally agrees about. The
words that have emotional meaning and denotation meaning are combination
of sounds.
Reaske in Albertine Minderop (2005:51-52) also provide the
understanding of figurative language as follows:
Figurative language: language which employs various figures of
speech. Some examples are metaphor, simile, antithesis, hyperbole and
paradox. In general, figurative language is that kind of language which departs
from the language employed in the traditional, literal ways of describing
persons or objects. Using figurative language is making imaginative
description in fresh ways. It is usually immediately obvious whether a writer
is using figurative or literal.
According to Laurence Perrine (1978:61) figurative language is
language that cannot be taken literally. A figure of speech is any way of
saying of something other than ordinary way, and some rhetoricians have
classified many figures.
Figurative language uses "figures of speech" - a way of saying
something other than the literal meaning of the words. In other words,
language cannot be taken literally. Language using figures of speech such as
metaphor, personification, simile, hyperbole, paradox, metonymy and irony, to
form imagery is figurative language. It is used to increase shock, novelty,
appearance, or illustrative consequences.
Literal and figurative language is a distinction in traditional systems
for analyzing language. Literal language refers to words that do not deviate
from their defined meaning. Figurative language refers to words, and groups
of words, that exaggerate or alter the usual meanings of the component words.
Figurative language may involve analogy to similar concepts or other
contexts, and may involve exaggerations. These alterations result in figures of
speech.
According David Grove's (1997) figurative language is related
Metaphors, symbols, metonymy, simile, emblems, images, analogies and
icons are to name but a few of the elements incorporate in the syntax
construction clients use to describe cognition and affect. Here are some
definitions and a chance to recover the original definitions and reintroduce the
reader to the special variances of figurative language. The purpose is to clarify
the words choose during a therapy session. Figurative Language is language
using figures of speech (a way of saying one thing and meaning another); in
other words, language that cannot be taken literally (or should not be taken
literally only). Figurative language is a word or phrase that comes from
everyday literal language for the important of comparison, emphasis, clarity,
or freshness. Metaphor and simile are the two most commonly used figures of
speech,
but
things
like
Simile,
metaphor,
metonymy,
synecdoche,
personification, apostrophe, are all forms of figurative language.
There are seven kinds of figurative languages expressions. They are
Metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, paradox, metonymy and irony.
1. Metaphor
Kennedy (1983:482) affirms Metaphor is a statement that one thing
is something else, which, in literal sense, it is not. It not uses connective
words such as like or as. A metaphor is used as a figure of speech to like
an object or person to another object or person, based on certain similar
qualities that both possess. Though a direct comparison, this is a type that
is not applicable literally. The use of metaphors however, intensifies the
significance of what is being said.
For example:
Rebecca: Real prices got you shiny. (00:00:44).
He is a pig
The first sentence means real prices give shiny or wonderful
things. The writer explains that real prices give shiny or wonderful things.
The second sentence is to use a metaphor that may involve comparison
people and animal of appearance and morality as well.
2. Simile
James affirms, Simile is figure of speech in which a likeness
between two objects are directly expressed with the word, as, like, than. A
figure of speech is used to draw a comparison between two objects,
persons, or situations, by using the terms like, as, than. Though similar to a
metaphor, the latter is a direct comparison between the two objects of
comparison. (1989:12).
For example:
Rebecca (kid): They were beautiful, like fairies or princesses.
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,425
Ivan could run like the wind
The first sentence means they are beautiful like fairies or
princesses because they use well dress and jewerly. Beautiful is invisible
like fairies or princess. The second sentence, Ivan could run like the wind,
the word “like” shows that Ivan runs like the wind. The speedy is fast like
the wind.
3. Hyperbole (Overstatement)
Hyperbole is such a style that contains an overstatement to
exaggerate things. Deliberate overstatement not intended to be taken
literally; it is used as a means of emphasizing the truth of a statement. This
is relatively rare in Frost. The statement a penchant for fact and truth, not
literal truth but use figure of speech called overstatement (Perrine, 1978:
91).
For example:
Rebecca: Man will never love you or treat you as well as a store.
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:20,196
I have told him a thousand times.
The first statement, the writer explains men never love girls as well
as a store. The second statement, He said a thousand times. In fact, he only
said once or three times.
4. Personification
Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing, an animal, or
an abstract term (truth, nature) is made human. A personification extends
throughout this whole short term. A figure of speech where an inanimate
object, trait, or action, is given a life like disposition, by giving a human
quality or trait. (Kennedy: 1983:487)
For example: Opportunity knocked on the door.
The sun greeted me this morning.
The first sentence, described that opportunity knocked on the door.
Knocked only is done by a living in a creature that has hands of humans.
The second sentence “sun” like humans being.
5. Paradox
Paradox is apparent self-contradiction or deliberate inconsistency.
A statement or situation containing apparently contradictory or
incompatible elements, but on closer inspection may be true (Kennedy,
1983:488).
For example: The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor.
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun.
The first example, here is two different meaning of the words
“poorest man“ is contrasted, rich in kindliness and “rich” in wealth. The
second
example,
there
is
contradiction
between
two
circumstances, the writer mean the day is dark because no sun.
different
6. Metonymy
Kennedy affirms metonymy is the name of things substituted for
another closely associated with it. Metonymy refers to the use of a phrase
associated to an actual concept of metaphorical in nature are attributed to
an animal.
A type of metaphor in which distinct human qualities,
example: honesty, emotion, volition, object or idea. (1983:488)
For example: The white house decided.
He smokes Bentoel.
The word “The White House” means “The President”. Then the
word “Bentoel” is the label of cigarette.
7. Irony
Irony is a manner of speaking that implies is a discrepancy. If the
mask says one thing and we sense that the writer is in fact saying
something else. A disparity between what is said and what is actually
meant can sum up the meaning of irony. Often used to express humor and
sarcasm, irony is another form of figurative language that enables the truth
to be expressed in a subtle, and sometimes, a blatant manner. A figure of
speech when an expression used is the opposite of the thought in the
speaker's mind, thus conveying a meaning that contradicts the literal
definition. Irony has meanings which extend beyond its use merely as a
figure of speech (Kennedy, 1983:13).
Example: How diligent you are! You just got up at 9 a clock.
Your voice is so good. But silent is better.
The first sentence is a satire. The second sentence “diligent” and
“good” are contradictory with the fact.
B. Use of figurative language
Movie is form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and
sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement.
(http://www.thefreedictionary/movie.html, last access 19th march)
Movie is a part of human life. Movie is entertainment, knowledge, and
education for people. Movie invites audience to come into new world, new life
as if the viewers live there.
According to Perrine (1978), Figurative gives opinion to the writer
uses metaphor, personification, simile, to stir the reader's imagination and
bring out the emotion and understanding that can't be expressed by the words.
Languages provide to expressing the reader’s different attitudes and meaning.
Figurative language has several using. First, it might seem absurd to say one
thing and mean another. Second, the writer can say more vividly use by
figures than he/she can say by saying it directly. Figurative language affords
us imaginative pleasure. Third, the writer can imagine the literal term in real
object. It is mean of spoken language can be understood. Fourth, the writer
can describe meaning by using literal word and more vividly by figures than
he can by saying it directly. Fifth, it is mean enjoyment of saying much of the
word. Sixth, figurative languages are another way to imagination and satisfy
by providing language.
Figurative language uses “figure speech” a way of saying something
other than the literal or not directly meaning of the words. Figurative language
often provides a more effective means of saying what we means that does
directly.
Richard Nordquist says, a figure of speech is a rhetorical device that
achieves a special effect by using words in distinctive ways. Figurative
language is often connected with particular poetry and literature. But the fact
is, whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in
our own writing and conversations.
The term of figurative language connected by passing the literal
meaning widely, or bring about new ideas or knowledge into a word or phrase.
It is a way; figurative language is a description, in which abstract terms are
used in place of concrete description. It may also use words of attractive
language to one's imagination and creates real images to display the impact of
what is being written. Figurative language can include many words and
phrases, and there are several types of figurative language. Most commonly, it
can refer to making comparisons, repeating sounds, overstatement or creating
imaginative to the senses.
Erica Sweeney says figurative language is a way of using description
to create a certain image and bring out one's emotions. It is important part of
writing and is also widely used in speech. It is a term used to describe
language that uses comparisons, analogies or exaggerations ("figures of
speech") to get the point across.
Figurative language writes on poetry with words exaggerate and literal
meaning. It uses figures of speech to describe or discuss a concept, as opposed
to literal language, which has a concrete meaning. That provides a deep to
writing that truth on straightforward expression cannot. It uses any of words a
variety of figures of speech.
http://www.ehow.com/about_5470479_definition-figurative language.html#
Figurative language is used by writer to describe something fully and
effectively, it makes the reader more clearly. The difference between literal
and figurative language is that when you speak, read or write literal language.
It includes any word or phrase not to be taken literally. It enhances your word
in fiction and can be a way of getting an image or straight of that a point.
However, used incorrectly. It is mean Imagery; a word or phrase that relates to
real experience, helps create a physical experience and adds words for the
reader to literary language. It makes imaginations, finding the likeness in
compatible unrelated things.
Generally, Figurative language is essential in certain types of writing
to convey meaning and expression. It is necessary to explain the exact
meaning in a vivid, artistic manner and to the point manner to your reader.
The writer has a story to tell and uses figurative language to show every
emotion and feeling on the paper. The writer's goal, if the writer does not
create an image in the readers mind, he will lose the readers attention and
holding the attention of the reader. It is language that uses words or
expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation.
When a writer uses literal language, he or she is. Figurative language, in
comparison, uses exaggerations or alterations to make a particular linguistic
point. It is not only common in poetry but also in prose and nonfiction writing
as well.

B. Synopsis of Confession of Shopaholic Movie
This movie tells about the young Rebecca who looks two kinds of
prices: real price and mom price. Real price is the price for brand and mom
price was price for commonly price, but when she looks into window
shopping, she is seeing another world. A dreamy world full of perfect things,
a world where grown-up girls get what they wanted.
Rebecca looks at older girls who were trying to wear dresses and
jewelry. They do not need money for those perfect things, but only swipe
credit card. Rebecca wants to have that one. Now, the adult Rebecca is
walking down the street. She says that she could reach the dream when she
was twelve.
Rebecca Bloomwood occupation is a journalist. She writes for a
Gardening magazine. She moves to New York. She meets with the guys.
From that moment, she puts things in different perspective. Because she
knows when girls see cute boys and they smile, the girls’ heart fly like on the
sky, but Rebecca does not. When she is going to store, the cute boy is
forgetting by many kinds of dresses and jewelry. A man will never love girls
or treat girls as well as a store. But women love a store full to clothes,
accessories, and a lot of debt.
She does not know exactly, but she concerns to receive one bill for
$900. She thinks her card was stolen, but she realizes that the Outdoor World

persistent collection Derek Smeath agent.
Rebecca head off to an interview at Alette magazine, run by Alette.
She finds a green scarf in a window that is perfect. Even the statue was telling
her that it would define who she is. She tries to buy it by spreading the price
over cash and multiple cards, but with one card being declined was still short.
She rushes to a hotdog vendor, goes to the front of the line for an
emergency, begs the vendor to give her cash back on a check. Even she
offered to buy all of her hotdogs; she needs the scarf for a sick aunt.
The man in the front of the line gives her twenty dollars to get her out
of the way. So he gets his hotdog. But there are differences between cost and
worth. With the scarf Bex heads into Alette office, but the receptionist tells
her that Alicia Billington had filled the job internally.
Complimenting the scarf, he tells her that a consumer finance
magazine from the same parent company is also hiring, and getting her foot in
the door there will help. Bex hurries over to that office, and meets her
interviewer, Luke Brandon, the man from the hotdog stand.
The interview do not go well, and thought gets worse as she return to
her job and finds that the magazine is close, and everyone has received
termination notices. Bex goes back to her roommate, Suze who tear up her
rent check, but it do not resolve the debt problem. Bex help Suze to take a
tequila bottle. They go through the bills. Suze figure up, and finds that the
news was horrible. However, they gets the brilliant idea. She has idea to write
up a sample article for Alette and send it. At the same time, Bex draft a mean
note to Luke. A called from Luke the next day lead her to realize that she put
the letter in the wrong envelope. she makes a desperate rush to intercept the
insulting letter on its way to Alette.
He likes her idea about using shoes as a metaphor for investing. But
before taking that job, Rebecca starts with a thousand words on the effect of
changing the word interest rate on store card APRs. Luke command her to
write article about APR, but she writes in google. Bex gets off to a rocky start
at the magazine, especially since her card is decline as she tried to buy a
finance book.
Luke take her to a company meeting and makes her question the
presenter about their bonuses, seeing as the company posted a loss. He asked
her to go home and sends him a new outline for the article, but a sample sale

Alicia, she does manage.
Bex tells Suze, if she works in succesfull saving magazine. And Suze
is shocked to hear that Rebecca Bloomwood advice people how to handle
money. Suze also get Bex to go to a support group for shopaholics, but all she
sends most of the members into a relapse as she describes her love of
shopping. Suze also makes Bex watch a video about shopping addiction, and
tries to get her to brake her shopping but Bex really just hide everything in the
closet, which later explodes into buries Suze.
One coat that she buy, gives her the answer. She is looks promosing,
but not cashmere. She writes about changed in credit card terms. When she
meets Luke brunden in office, he reads her article. That was amazing. He is
very satisfied about her job.
Her new column, the Girl in the Green Scarf is well received.
Although the head of advertising was nervous. Bex wins over the company
head, bankers, and even Finns from Nokia, as she manages to avoid getting
caught in her constant lie.
She does it well at Miami conference. But in there it was still being
harassed by Smeath, whom she tells Luke was a previous-boyfriend that is
stalking her. Still in Miami, she and Luke share a shopping trip and a dance.

definition may admit to view exceptions. (1979:43). Characterization can
be divided into three groups; they are protagonist, antagonist, and foil
character. Here is the description of each characterization.
The protagonist is the leading character in story or the driver of the
action of the story and therefore responsible for achieving the stories
objective story goal (the story of journey). (Andrew, 1988:210) The
antagonist is the character that stands in opposition to the protagonist.
Then, Foil is a character who contrasts with another character (usually the
30
protagonist) in order to highlight various features of that other character's
personality, throwing these characteristics into sharper focus.

seldom so obviously distillation of the story is often listed as one of the
fundamental elements of fiction. It is the central idea or insight serving as
a unifying element, creating cohesion. That is theme need not be moral or
message, it may be what the happenings add up to film. (Kennedy:
1979:90) Confession of a shopaholic is debut, young, adult, and comedy.
The theme in Confession of a Shopaholic movie deals with the persistence
of shopaholic girl to stop shopping, make a friendship and love to reach a
happy life.

4. Plot

literature, the plot encompasses all the incidents and provides aesthetic
pleasure. The story of the novel progresses through various plots and
conflicts.
a. Exposition
Exposition is the opening portion that sets the scene (if
any), introduces the main characters, tells us what happened before
the story opened, and provides any other background information
that we need in order to understand and care about the events to
follow. (Kennedy: 1979:8)
In this movie, the exposition is shown when Rebecca is
adult. She moves to New York. When she meets with the guys,
from that moment, she puts things in different perspective.
Rebecca does not. A man will never love girls or treat girls as well
as a store, but a woman loves a store full to clothes, accessories,
and a lot of debt. She thinks her card is stolen, but she realizes that
the Outdoor World charges of the stolen card. The all debts belong
to her. It comes with one persistent collection agent, Derek
Smeath. Rebecca heads off to an interview at Alette magazine, runs
by Alette. She finds a green scarf in a window that is perfect.
Rebecca tries to buy it by spreading the price over cash and
multiple cards, but with one card being declined is still short. She
rushes to a hot dog vendor, goes to the front of the line for an
emergency, begs the vendor to give her cash back on a check. Even
she offers to buy all of her hot dogs; she needs the scarf for a sick
aunt. But there is a difference between cost and worth. The man in
the front of the line gives her twenty dollars to get her out of the
way.

Alettes office, but the receptionist tells her that Alicia Billington
has filled the job internally. Complimenting the scarf, he tells her
that a consumer finance magazine from the same parent company
is also hiring, and getting her foot in the door there will help. Bex
hurries over to that office, and meets her interviewer, Luke
Brandon, the man from the hotdog stand. The interview does not
go well, and things get worse as she returns to her job and finds
that the magazine is closed, and everyone has received termination
notices.
c. Climax
Climax is the moment of greatest tension, at which the
outcome is to be decided. The plot’s most dramatic and revealing
moment, usually the turning point of the story. (Kennedy: 1979:13)
Climax show when she has idea to write up a sample article
for Alette and send it. At the same time, Bex drafts a mean note to
Luke. A call from Luke the next day leads her to realize that she
puts the letter in the wrong envelope. He likes her idea about using
shoes as a metaphor for investing. Bex tells Suze, if she works in
succesfull saving magazine. And Suze is shocked to hear that
Rebecca Bloomwood advises people how to handle money. Suze
also gets Bex to go to a support group for shopaholics.

over the company head. She finds out that he is having dinner with
Alicia, upsetting her. She also finds out that Alicia will be Luke
date for an upcoming ball. Suze convinces Bex not to buy a new
dress in TV Show. She has many clothes in her closet to use when
she goes to the ball. Bex joins to shopaholic group rehabilitation.
In TV show Smeath stands up and exposes her debt issues, as well
as she lies him to be a previous-boyfriend. As Bex goes back to the
apartment, Suze is there, and while they are talking about that, the
homeless woman goes by wearing the bridesmaid dress. Suze is
furious and moves out.
e. Resolution Action
The part of the plot after climax, when the drama subsides
and the conflict is resolved. The resolution is rounding off of the
action, conclusion, one way or the other, of the conflict. (Graham
Little, 85)
The resolution shown in this action, Bex returns to her
support group, asks for help, and sets up the sample sale and
auction of her entire wardrobe. Everything are sold, with the last
item on the block being the original green scarf. Two women,
include one on a phone, have a small bidding war. Finally Rebecca
decides to be a columnist for Luke's new magazine. She decides to

And she has a relationship with someone who loves her back
(Luke), and never declines her.
5. Point of View
Point of view is refers to the way in which the narrative “sees” or
interprets her or his material: also referred to narrative perspective.
(Andrew, 1988:210) according to Kennedy point of view is the identity of
the narrator in the story, describing any part of player in the events and any
limits placed upon the knowledge (1983:18).The character from whose
perspective (theme) the audience experiences the story, and is usually a
person, but may be any personal, identity, or entity whose existence
originates from a fictional work or performance.
Point of view which use of the writer in this movie is Sophie
Kinsella use first person at the main character in point of view. She use
Rebecca Blomwood shopaholic girl, as her narrator. The story is about
shopaholic girl to change her habit from shopaholic.

There were real prices and mom prices. 00:00:30,697 -->
00:00:34,064
[Rebecca] It is amazing. What you have time to do. 01:39:35,035 -> 01:39:36,730
When you're not shopping. 01:39:36,770 --> 01:39:38,203
6. Language
Language is to communicate with others, a systematic
means of communicating by the use of sounds or conversational symbols.
Figurative language uses “figures of speech” a way of saying something
other than the literal meaning of the words. The language itself can divide
into spoken and written once. In language system, while in the written
language, it is the representation of the spoken, which is very helpful for
communication. Sophie Kinsella as an author used English as daily
activities and Finnish language.
Example: I actually learned Finnish. [Speaking Finnish]
01:39:38,238 --> 01:39:41,002
Beside that, she also used such kind figurative languages in
shopaholic dialogue. In this conversation movie of Confession of a
Shopaholic movie. For example, when the Shopie Kinshella using
figurative languages, Hyperbole and metaphor:
Example: You're breaking my heart. You're tearing it apart.
(01:17:50,565 --> 01:17:54,626).

B. Using of Figurative Language in Confession of Shopaholic Movie
This chapter the writer will be discus about figurative language in
confession of shopaholic movie. Figurative language uses “figure speech” a
way of saying something other than the literal or not directly meaning of the
words. Figurative language often provides a more effective means of saying
what we means that does directly.
Figurative language is a word or phrase that comes from everyday
literal language for the important of comparison, emphasis, clarity, or
freshness. Metaphor and simile are the two most commonly used figures of
speech, but things like Simile, metaphor, metonymy, personification, paradox,
are all forms of figurative language.
There are the data about the using of figurative language in Confession
of a shopaholic Movie:
1. Metaphor
According to Juliana, a Metaphor is a figure of speech which omits
the comparative term (like, as, than) and implies that one thing is another:
All the world’s a stage’. This is metaphor, because it is one meaning
(Juliana, 1988:37). Kennedy affirms Metaphor is a statement that one
thing is something else, which, in literal sense, it is not. It does not use
connective words such as like or as. A metaphor is used as a figure of
speech to like an object or person to another object or person, based on
certain similar qualities that both possess. (1983:482)
Here are the metaphors used in the dialogue of Confession of a
Shopaholic Movie:
a. There were real prices and mom prices 00:00:30,697 -->
00:00:34,064

quality and market prices.

price that makes good thing and wonderful thing.

The meaning: In dream all of we wants, we gets.
e. What would The Girl in the Green Scarf's take be on Luke Brandon?
00:48:49,359 --> 00:48:54,353
The meaning: He wants Bex to value about him.
f. The Girl in the Green Scarf. Thank you. 00:34:05,309 -->
00:34:08,972
The meaning: Green scarf mean Rebecca.
2. Simile
James affirms, Simile is figure of speech in which a likeness
between two objects are directly expressed with the word, as, like, than. A
figure of speech is used to draw a comparison between two objects,
persons, or situations, by using the terms like, as, than. Though similar to a
metaphor, the latter is a direct comparison between the two objects of
comparison. (1989:12). Simile is A trope in which one thing is likened to
another, specifically through the use of “like” or as (a species of
metaphor). (Andrew, 1995:211)
a. They were beautiful like fairies or princesses. 00:01:07,400 -->
00:01:09,425
The meaning: When they use good clothes or wonderful thing,
they look like princess

girl like store.
c. Hotdog vendor: Do I look like a bank? I have an interview.
00:06:56,849 --> 00:06:59,317
The meaning: She wants changes debit in hotdog stand.
d. As we speak, interviews are being held. 00:08:40,953 -->

The meaning: She gets member group according with his

e. Dantay-West is a family of magazines that acts like a family.
00:08:56,969 --> 00:09:00,66
The meaning: When she works in Dantay west, his company
enters her to Allete.
f. I did. And when a stranger is kind like that. 00:10:17,516 -->
00:10:20,781
The meaning: He gives money to stranger.
g. I’ll have her call you as soon as. 00:13:57,102 --> 00:13:59,263
The meaning: She will call quickly.
h. As soon as she's come back. 00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:01,671

3. Hyperbole (Overstatement)

exaggerate things. Deliberate overstatement not intended to be taken
literally; it is used as a means of emphasizing the truth of a statement
