Literary Devices- it is a writing technique that writers use to
express ideas, convey meaning, and highlight important themes
in a piece of text.
-Writers use literary devices to enhance various elements such
as setting, style, plot, and characterization.
1. Hyperbole- is a literary device used to draw emphasis through
extreme exaggeration. It should not be taken literally, but rather as
a means of communicating something specific.

2. Oxymoron- is a figure of speech that places contradictory terms

next to each other in a word or phrase. As a literary device, it is

thing or to a part of another text.
