Chapter 1- Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is the use of words whose sounds suggest their meaning. Examples of
onomatopoeias are “buzz”, “hiss”, or “moo” because these are “sound” words. They are
actually a sound. Authors use onomatopoeias to make reading and writing more
interesting and to help create more vivid pictures for the reader.
In The Lemonade War, Evan is lying on his back throwing the baseball up. As he catches
it, the ball makes a sound as it hits his hand. This sound is “thwap”. This is an example
of onomatopoeia.
