Figurative Language #2

Thanks for watching!

Another type of figurative language Remmel used in her poem is "Hyperbole". A "hyperbole" is an "exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally."

by Mikayla George

"Joy lost,

The Holocaust.

We look to see

Hearts covered in frost."

Notice how Remmel used the following hyperbole to get her point across:

Remmel used the phrase "Hearts covered in frost" to exaggerate just how cold people have become due to the holocaust. Figuratively speaking, their hearts are "covered in frost".

Figurative Language #1

There are many different types of figurative language. The first one I noticed Remmel used in her poem "Lost Innocence" was "Personification".

"Personification" is defined as "the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman,..."

Notice how Remmel used personification in the first stanza of "Lost Innocence":

"Wind whistling,

Snow glistening,

We try not to,

But we're all listening."

Sound Device #2

The second sound device Remmel used in her poem is "Assonance".

"Assonance" is the repetition of vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u, y) with nearby words.

Notice the way Remmel used Assonance in this stanza taken from "Lost Innocence" by Michaela Remmel:

Sound Device #1

"Joy lost,

The Holocaust.

We look to see

Hearts covered in frost."

The biggest sound device that Remmel used in this poem is "Rhyme".

"Rhyming" is when words are used that have different beginnings but the same middle and/or ending sounds.

Notice the rhyming pattern she used in the following two stanzas taken from "Lost Innocence" by Michaela Remmel:

"People starting fights,

No longer enjoying the sights,

While mere mortals are taking

Our God given rights."

Soldiers killed,

Void can't be filled,

Pay close attention,

For pure souls have been tilled.
