Question

Define refrain, personification, hyperbole, metaphor, alliteration in short..
And give alteast 5 examples of each​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A metaphor is a thing that is symbolic of something else, especially abstract.

*Usually creates a comparison without using like or as

Example:

- The English assignment was a breeze.

This implicates that the assignment was very easy

- My mom was boiling mad.

This implicates that she is very mad.

A simile compares two things using like or as

Example:

- Soldiers are as brave as lions.

This use of a simile compares the braveness of a soldier to that of a lion.

A hyperbole is extreme exaggeration.

*Not to be confused with similes and metaphors because hyperbole's do not make comparisons, they just create an overstatement that cannot be taken seriously

Example:

- My grandmother is as old as dirt.

Though you may think this is a simile, it is not. This is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration, and therefore cannot be taken seriously

Irony is used to contradict what one says and what one does, or what one says and its literal meaning (sarcasm)

*It's usually used to create suspense

Example:

- The teacher passed back the exams. When Jamie received her exam, she exclaimed, "Oh, great!". At the corner of the page held a big red F.

This is an example of irony because though Jamie exclaims, "Oh, great!", she's contradicting what is her test score actually is, which isn't so great. In other words, she was being sarcastic.

Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter at the beginning of words in a sentence.

Example:

- P eter P iper p icked a p eck of p ickled p eppers

- S he s ells s eashells by the s eashore

These sentences are nursery rhymes also known as tongue twisters because they start the words within the sentence begin with the same letter.

Imagery is visually descriptive language using the 5 senses

Example:

- The red blazing sun shone bright throughout the wide pale blue sky over the rich green grass.

This example of imagery appeals to the sense of sight by stating colors of specific nouns.

Answer 2

Answer:

Refrain=The definition of a refrain is the part of a song or poem that is repeated. An example of refrain is the part "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind." in Peter Paul and Mary's 1960's folk song "Blowing in the Wind."

Personification=the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

ex:Lightning danced across the sky.

Hyperbole=Hyperbole, from a Greek word meaning "excess," is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis. It is the opposite of understatement. You can find examples of hyperbole in literature and everyday speech.

Metaphor=Simply put, a metaphor is a figure of speech containing an implied comparison. ... Here's a metaphor example: "The curtain of night fell upon us." In this metaphor, the evening did not develop into a velvet curtain. Rather, simple words are being used to paint a colorful picture.

Alliteration:Alliteration is a term to describe a literary device in which a series of words begin with the same consonant sound. A classic example is: "She sells seashells by the sea-shore." Another fan-favorite is: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
