Never again confuse 'metaphor' with 'simile'! This  program allows pupils to improve their knowledge and use of those literary terms most frequently used at GCSE and A Level.

Using the menu system, pupils can search for that elusive word. They can scan through a list of literary terms, or, because few people know which term they want, there are lists of examples, definitions, and even a multiple choice Help that suggests possibilities.

The program also includes considerable help on writing essays (Literature, Science, Modern Languages), Parts Of Speech, Figures Of Speech, Literary Terms. Each section can be accessed individually or as part of the whole.

The Oxymoron's Guide comes with its own installation program so that loading is extremely easy.
