YOUR TEXT
Have you ever wondered how to communicate and express ideas in the most
creative and unique way? Commented [P57]: Revise to avoid plagiarism
Literary devices are all essential in bringing out creative and sound writing.
Though literary devices (i.e. figurative language) are significantly used in language, Commented [P58]: Complex Expression: Use “much”
many students still have difficulty in identifying them. This module will enable you to instead.
further understand how literary devices work whether in written or oral conversations.
When you want to communicate an idea in a way that gives it particular
emphasis or express feelings that truly brings them to life, you can use certain special
literary devices to help you.
This module explores additional possibilities for word choices. It explains how Commented [P59]: Complex Expression: Use “more” or

It also encourages you to study professional writing to develop your own use of
language.
What is It
Let’s discuss!
This time let’s try to further understand how Literary Devices work by taking a
look on its their types.
A simile uses the words like or as to link two different items on the basis of Formatted: Underline
certain shared qualities. Formatted: Underline
Notice how the following similes give the reader a new way of looking at the
destructive power of a colony of ants and the fragility of a broken umbrella.
Examples: Commented [P61]: Suggestion: Add some illustrations in
your module that are related to your texts.
SIMILE: Like a wave of brush fires, droves of army ants swept across hundreds
Commented [P62]: There are two examples. So, add –s.
of acres of grasslands.
SIMILE: The umbrella turned inside out as limply as a flower.

Like simile, a metaphor compares two dissimilar items. However, it draws the
comparison by identifying one item completely with another, imaginatively overstating
the similarity and equating them: It says one item is another.
For instance, in metaphor The boat was a large white bird on the water, the
reader understands that a comparisons has been drawn between the boat’s beauty, Commented [P63]: Wrong Auxiliary Verb: Change it to
grace, and ease on the water and the beauty and grace of a bird. “comparisons have” or “a comparison has”
Commented [P64]: Revise to avoid plagiarism
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO USE METAPHORS TO ENHANCE AN IMAGINATIVE
CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO ITEMS.
Metaphors are even more striking figures of speech than similes. They should
therefore be used with great selectivity and care. The following sentences include Commented [P65]: Complex Expression: You can omit
metaphors. Notice how the first one rewords the brush fire/ants simile. this.
Example:
METAPHOR: Droves of army ants swept across hundreds of acres of
grasslands, a brush of fire that could not be contained.
METAPHOR: Her hair was a bridal veil around her face, shimmering,
pale, and still.
Metaphors are imaginative and forceful, so many writers, submerge them
subtly, in exact, graphic verbs, for instance. A submerged version of the brush
fire/ants metaphor follows.
Submerged Metaphor: Droves of army ants scorched the grasslands for miles
around.

Setting Moods
In descriptive writing, you can often want to create a special mood or feeling
about a place, or series of events. You can do this by using sensory impressions or
symbols.
Using Sensory Impressions. Sensory impressions are words that appeal to
sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Commented [P141]: Revise to avoid plagiarism
What is It
Let’s discuss!
Symbols have more impact if they grow naturally and subtly out of the situation
described. The objects that take on deeper meanings should fit into the context of the
passage. A writer lays the groundwork for the symbols by establishing a mood from
which the symbol’s special meaning can develop. In this sense, symbols often work
well as concluding effects, culminations of the other details in a passage.
