Answer:
Figures Speech
Figures of speech are departures from the direct way of speaking or writing, intended to explain, emphasize, elucidate or embellish what is being said.
They are chiefly used in poetry for the sake of vividness. They are also used in prose especially in public speeches to give added effect or beauty to what is said.
The figures of speech may be divided into five sections:
1. Figures based on Similarity or Likeness. They are :
(1) Simile (2) Metaphor
(3) Personification (4) Apostrophe
2. Figures based on Contrast, Difference or Surprise. They are :
(1) Antithesis (2) Epigram
(3) Paradox (4) Oxymoron
(5) Irony (6) Euphemism
(7) Litotes
3. Figures based on Association or Substitution. They are :
(1) Metonymy (2) Synecdoche
4. Figures based on Construction or Arrangement of words. They are :
(1) Interrogation (2) Exclamation
(3) Climax (4) Anticlimax
(5) Hyperbole (6) Transferred Epithet
(7) Tautology
5. Figures based on Sound. They are :
(1) Pun (2) Alliteration
(3) Onomatopoeia
I. BASED ON SIMILARITIES
(1) Simile
A simile is a figure in which a comparison is made between two objects of different kinds, which are alike at least at one point.
In this figure words like, as or so are always used.
Suresh is as strong as a lion.
Helen was like a lovely rose.
Note: Comparison between two objects of the same kind is not a smile but a simple comparison.
e.g. Smith is as clever as Henry.
