Simile:
 Definition: A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using "like" or "as."
 Effect: Similes help to create vivid and imaginative descriptions, making comparisons more explicit
and relatable.
 Example: "Her smile is as bright as the sun."


Metaphor:
 Definition: A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly equates two unrelated things without
using "like" or "as."
 Effect: Metaphors add depth and layers of meaning by creating implicit comparisons and
encouraging the reader to think abstractly.
 Example: "Time is a thief."


Personification:
 Definition: Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics are attributed
to non-human objects or abstract concepts.
 Effect: Personification brings inanimate objects or ideas to life, making them relatable and
engaging.
 Example: "The wind whispered secrets through the trees."


Hyperbole:
 Definition: Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves extreme exaggeration to emphasize a
point or create a dramatic effect
 Effect: Hyperbole adds emphasis and creates a memorable impact, often for comedic or
rhetorical purposes.
 Example: "I've told you a million times!"


Alliteration:

 Definition: Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of closely
connected words.
 Effect: Alliteration adds rhythm, musicality, and emphasis to a phrase or sentence.
 Example: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."


Onomatopoeia:
 Definition: Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where words imitate the sounds associated with
the objects or actions they describe.
