Personification

Alliteration

A figure of speech in which human characteristics are given to an animal or an object.

Metaphor

The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words. Alliteration includes tongue twisters.

Simile

Onomatopoeia

Example

  • uses words like or as to compare something

The animal was depressed by the tremendous cold.

The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison. A simile would say you are like something; a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.

Example

The use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound or the sound made by an object or an action.

Example

"But the man whistled, and spoke to it with

the sound of whip lashes,and the dog swung

in the man's heels and followed after."

Example: "Once, coming around a bend, he shied abruptly, like a startled horse,curved away from the place he had been walking..."

Example

There was a sharp, explosive crackle that startled him.
