B. DISCUSSION / CONTENT

The English language encompasses a host of literary devices that make it so rich and expressive.
They provide a broad structure under which all the types of literature are classified, studied, and
understood. The importance of literature in the portrayal of human emotions is best understood by
the application of these devices.

SIMILES are one of the most commonly used literary devices; referring to the
practice of drawing parallels or comparisons between two unrelated and
dissimilar things, people, beings, places, and concepts. They are marked by
the use of words “as” or “such as” or “like”.
FORESHADOWING refers to the use of indicative words/phrases and hints
that set the stage for a story to unfold and give the reader a hint of
something that is going to happen without revealing the story or spoiling
the suspense. Foreshadowing is used to suggest an upcoming outcome to
the story

RHYME is the practice of placing rhyming words often at the end of the lines in
prose or poetry. It refers to the corresponding of sounds between words or the
ending of words,

OXYMORON is a significant literary device as it allows the author to use

contradictory, contrasting concepts placed together in a manner that
actually ends up making sense in a strange and slightly complex manner. It
helps to perceive a deeper level of truth and explore different layers of
semantics while writing.

METAPHORS are one of the most extensively used by way of another. In a

metaphor, one subject is implied to be another so as to draw a comparison
between their similarities and shared traits.
