hey dear...!!
1. SIMILE-
A Simile shows a likeness or comparison between two objects or events. A simile is usually introduced with the words- like, as, as……..so.
2. METAPHOR-
A Metaphor is like a simile. Two objects are compared, without the words ‘as or like’. It is an implied simile.
3. ALLITERATION-
Alliteration is a series of words that begin with the same letter. Alliteration consists of the repetition of a sound or of a letter at the beginning of two or more words.
4. . PERSONIFICATION-
In Personification non-living objects, abstract ideas or qualities are spoken of as persons or human-beings.
5. HYPERBOLE-
Hyperbole is an exaggeration and things are made to appear greater or lesser than they usually are. Hyperbole is a literary device often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.
6. OXYMORON-
An Oxymoron is when two terms or words are used together in a sentence but they seem to contradict each-other. Oxymoron is a statement which, on the surface, seems to contradict itself - a kind of crisp contradiction. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that deliberately uses two differing ideas.
7. IRONY
Irony is when one thing is said which means the exact opposite. With irony the words used suggest the OPPOSITE of their literal meaning.
8. ONOMATOPOEIA-
Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where a word is used to represent a sound. When you name an action by imitating the sound associated with it, this is known as onomatopoeia.
9. REPETATION -
The repetition of an initial consonant sound.

Alliteration: The repetition of an initial consonant sound.Example:She sells seashells by the seashore.
Metaphor: An implied comparison between two dissimilar things that have something in common.Example:"All the world's a stage."
Onomatopoeia: The use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to.Example:The clap of thunder went bang and scared my poor dog.
Oxymoron: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side.Example:I amas graceful as a bull in a china shop when I dance.
Simile: A stated comparison (usually formed with "like" or "as") between two fundamentally dissimilar things that have certain qualities in common.Example:Roberto was white as a sheet after he walked out of the horror movie.
Irony : The use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. Also, a statement or situation where the meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea.Example:"Oh, I love spending big bucks," said my dad, a notorious penny pincher.
