  5. Personification • A type of figurative language in which a non-human subject (animal, object, or idea) is given human characteristics. The tea kettle sang happily.

  6. Onomatopoeia • The use of words that imitate sounds. The cooking bacon’s aroma and sizzle woke me.

  7. Symbol • Anything that stands for or represents something else. An eagle often represents freedom.

  8. Hyperbole • An exaggeration for effect. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.

  9. Alliteration • The repetition of initial consonant sounds. Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

  10. Idioms • An expression that has a meaning all its own. It’s raining cats and dogs outside.
