well there r many figures of speech let me tell u bout the one which i know...
1) When we find comparison...then it is a simile
example....as brave as lion or as proud as peacock
2) Metaphor is implied simile
example.....the curtain of night
3) Considering non-living or in-animated objects as living ones by showing there similar characteristics is personification
example.....opportunity knocks once.
4) The transferred emotions of living beings most probably humans to a non living organism is called transferred epithet.
example.....i slept on restless bed
5) Exaggeration is called hyperbole.
example......she wept ocean of tears
6) Sounding words r often referred as onomatopoeia
example......the door closed with a thud
7) When in a sentence the first letter of a word is repeated for more than once then it is a case of alliteration.{note...it isn't necessary that the words r continuous like five frustrated fools...but can be blocked words even as flowing of rivers is flawless}
example..... She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore
8) Repetition is when in a sentence whole word is repeated more than once whether repeated continuously or blocked
example......two and two makes four
9) Pun is when a word has two meanings and one is used in a sentence
example......the prisoner lies in prison
{NOTE :here lies means to lie...but in the sentences it refers to living or staying in prison of the prisoner...}

A figure of speech is a remarkable way of saying something. It is 'a form of expression that intentionally deviates from the ordinary mode of speech for the sake of more powerful, pleasing or Distinctive effect.'
It is a mistake to believe that the figures of speech are simply divices by means of which stylists enrich their writings .
