  1. Figures of Speech used in Poetry and Song Personification Giving human qualities to non human things as in an object, animal, quality or idea Metaphor A comparison in which one things is said to be another. It does not use like, as or than. Sometimes an adjective or verb is used to imply the comparison. Ex: the man wolfed his meal Simile Comparing two unlike things to show how they are the same. Uses like, as, or than. Ex: He is as brave as a lion Onomatopoeia Words made to imitate the sound they make. Ex: bubble, screech, murmur, splat

  2. Allusion A brief reference to a presumably familiar place, event or figure from history, literature, mythology An allusion is a reference the author expects the reader to know and adds to the reader's understanding. Ex: His fury matched that of Zeus Hyperbole An exaggeration of fact used for emphasis. It is exaggeration for the sake of effect and not meant to be taken literally. Ex: That kid is huge, he must be 100 feet tall. Imagery Concrete, specific descriptions within a literary work that have a sensory appeal for the reader. The five senses are used to create the image Alliteration The repetition of initial consonant sound three or more times. Ex: Peter Piper Picks Peppers.
