    This document defines and provides examples of various types of figurative language techniques including alliteration, simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and assonance. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, a simile compares two things using like or as, a metaphor directly states one thing is something else, and personification gives human qualities to non-living objects. Onomatopoeia uses words that mimic sounds, hyperbole exaggerates greatly, and assonance involves similar vowel sounds.
