1. SIMILE - A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things.

Similes differ
from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things through the use of
words such as "like" and "as", while metaphors create an implicit comparison.

2. METAPHOR - A metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers
to one thing by mentioning another. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities
between two ideas. Metaphors are often compared to other types of figurative language,
such as antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy and simile.

3. PERSONIFICATION - Personification is an anthropomorphic metaphor in which a

thing or abstraction is represented as a person.

4. IRONY - AS a literary device, irony is a contrast or incongruity between expectations for

a situation and what is reality. This can be a difference between the surface meaning of
something that is said and the underlying meaning. It can also be a difference between
what might be expected to happen and what actually occurs.

5. HYPERBOLE - is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In

rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis. In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes,
evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually
not meant to be taken literally.

6. ONOMATOPOEIA - in the English language the term onomatopoeia means 'the imitation
of a sound', the compound word onomatopoeia (ὀνοματοποιία) in the Greek language
means 'making or creating names'. For words that imitate sounds, the term ὴχομιμητικό
(echomimetico) or echomimetic) is used. The word ὴχομιμητικό (echomimetico) derives
from "ὴχώ", meaning 'echo' or 'sound', and "μιμητικό", meaning 'mimetic' or 'imitating'.

7. ALLITERATION - is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in

successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled
differently. As a method of linking words for effect, alliteration is also called head rhyme
or initial rhyme.
