This is an educational worksheet titled 'Figurative Language in Context #3.'

The excerpts are taken from works such as 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' 'The Call of the Wild,' and 'The Maze Runner.' Each excerpt is followed by two blank lines labeled 'Type of figurative language:' and 'How it is used:'.
