Question

Give example of the following figures of speech: (i) Simile (ii) Repetition

Answer 1

Explanation: Both simile and repetition are called literary devices which are used in poems. Simile is the comparison of to things with use of words like  and as. Repetition is when one word is repeated in a line.

Here are a few lines from the poem A LEGEND OF THE NORTHLAND.

Away, away in the Northland,

In this line the word away is repeated twice, so it's an example of repetition.

And the children look like bear's cubs

In this line, the children are compared with bear cubs with the use of the word like, so it's an example of simile.

Hope this will be helpful.
