  1. Alliteration The repetition of initial consonant sounds. Show some stamina. Be the ball. The red rocks rang with a rousing roar.

  2. Assonance The repetition of vowel sounds. And be proud to be outta your mind and outta controland one more time, loud as you can, how does it go? - Eminem The Real Slim Shady

  3. Imagery words or phrases that appeal to any sense or any combination of senses a red, red rose, newly sprung in June a melody sweetly played in tune

  4. Metaphor A comparison between two objects with the intent of giving clearer meaning to one of them. Love is oxygen – get too much, you get too high, not enough and you’re gonna die. It is the east, and Juliet is the sun - Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

  5. Onomatopoeia The use of words which imitate sound. I go RAWR RAWRlike a dungeon dragon -Busta Rhymes “Scenario” Cuz when I pull out my jammy, get ready cuz it might go BLAUH! How do you like me now? - LL Cool J “Mama Said Knock You Out”

  6. Personification A figure of speech which endows animals, ideas, or inanimate objects with human traits or abilities. “When the trees bow down their heads, the trees are passing by.” - Who Has Seen the Wind? Robert Blake

  7. Repetition the repeating of words, phrases, lines, or stanzas for effect or emphasis. “You move me like a long, cool drink of water… Like Lena Horne’s grace and Alice Walker’s words and Billie Holliday’s life… Like humility, lessons, joy, grief, daydreams, truth…” - Gina Loring “You Move Me”

  8. Rhyme the similarity of ending sounds existing between two words. “…lookin at the faces if some ladies that I never met, On the energy tip, no sweat.” Ice T “Lifestyles of the Rick & Infamous”

  9. Near Rhyme Words “forced” to rhyme, or forced into a rhyme scheme when they really don’t rhyme. “That’s not a stab at Michael, That’s just a metaphor, I’m just psycho…” • Eminem “Just Lose It” “Somebody was catchin’ the wrath, Then the little one said, “Yeah, me, sis” and laughed…” - Queen Latifah “U.N.I.T.Y.”

  10. Tone The feeling the poet has towards his/her subject. (Hey Mr. Carter) I am him (Tell me where have you been?) Around the world and I'm back again! (Cause they've been asking, they've been searching) Who's been askin' 'bout me? They've been wondering why?) In case ya wonder-erin'! Hah! (Hey Mr. Carter) I am him! - Li’l Wayne/Weezy “Mr. Carter”

  11. Mood The feeling created in the reader by the poet’s words. Death Death stole my only love,, It didn't let me say goodbye. So in this world that killed you, I sit alone and cry. A pointless event, that often does occur, It stole my only love I say for death there is no cure. Your big brown eyes I still so often see. But now you're gone and all that's left is me. But I will not abandon hope, I will endure this pain, I will survive in this cruel world, alone and full of vain. So when I leave this filthy place with enemies and hate, I will unite with you my love, For that is our fate...

  12. Point-of-view The author's point-of-view concentrates on the vantage point of the speaker, or "teller", of the story or poem. • 1st person: the speaker is a character in the story or poem and tells it from his/her perspective (uses "I") • 3rd person omniscient: the speaker is not part of the story, but is able to "know" and describe what all characters are thinking.
