  2. Simile: a way of describing something by comparing it with something else using "like" or "as"

  4. Metaphor: A way of describing something by comparing it to something else

  5. The girl was a fish in the water. The clown was a feather floating away.

  6. Personification to compare something that is not human as if it had human characteristics

  7. The flowers danced in the wind. The friendly gates welcomed us. The Earth coughed and choked in all of the pollution.

  8. Alliteration: Repetition of the first consonant

  9. Stan the strong surfer saved several swimmers on Saturday. Tiny Tommy Thomson takes toy trucks to Timmy’s on Tuesday. Click here to read more alliterations.

  10. Assonance: The repetition of internal vowel sounds. Doesn't have to rhyme!!

  11. Princess Kitty will kiss Timmy T. Tippers’s lips The pain may drain Drake, but maybe the weight is fake.

  12. Onomatopoeia: Words that are sounds

  13. Yeeeeee Ahhhhhhhh Swish swish swish Chug chug chug!! Glippp Gluppp Gluppp

  14. Another literary device used by writers and poets is consonance. It is the repetition of the final consonant sounds, usually in the more important words or in the accented syllables. Here are some examples of consonance: “I dropped the locket in the thick mud.” and "as in guys she gently sways at ease" from The Silken Tent by Robert Frost.

  15. Hyperbole - A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.

  16. Rhyme – the sound of some part, especially at the end of words or lines of verse.

  17. Rhythm Or the beat

  18. Rhythm is a musical quality produced by the repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables. Rhythm occurs in all forms of language, both written and spoken, but is particularly important in poetry The most obvious king of rhythm is the regular repetition of stressed and unstessed syllables found in some poetry. Writers also create rhythm by repeating words and phrases or even by repeating whole lines and sentences,

  19. The writer is usually trying to express an emotion or a phrase. Just like in Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" he repeats the last line "and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep" to stress the extent of his journey and his exhaustion.

  20. Imagery – when a writer writes using as many of their five senses as possible so the reader is able to better experience the story. With smell of steaks in passageways.
