8. See how Danielle Caryl used onomatopoeia in her poem “Noises” on the next slide.

9. NoisesBy Danielle Caryl The click of the clock, the creak of the stair,The squeak of a mouse and the swoosh of the air.The groan of the house as it settles below,And outside the window, the patter of snow.The scruff of the dog’s paws below where I rest,The rattle of the window that seems to face West.The jingle of bells from a wind chime next doorThe unearthly sounds of a truly loud snore.The crunching of snow under an animal’s feet,The honk of a horn from right down the street.So many noises I just want to weep,Is it too much to ask for some sleep?

10. Hyperbole  Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect. It may be confused with a simile because it often compares two items. The difference is that with a hyperbole the comparison is an exaggeration.

11. Examples • I could sleep for a year. • This box weighs a ton. • His eyes were as round as saucers. • I nearly died laughing. • I'm so hungry; I could eat a horse. • I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.
