Name and explain the figure of speech—

a) No time to turn at Beauty's glance.

b) And stare as long as sheep or cows.

\textsf{\large{\underline{To do}:-}}

We have to identify as well as explain the figure of speech used in the sentence.

\textsf{\large{\underline{Answer}:-}}

a) No time to turn at Beauty's glance.

\textbf{Figure of speech}-Metaphor

Metaphor-It is a figure of speech used to make a comparison between two unlike things.

In this sentence,nature has been compared to a beautiful woman without using words like 'as' or 'like'.

Therefore,the figure of speech used in this sentence is metaphor.

☆Metaphors don't use the words 'like' or 'as' for comparison unlike similes.

b) And stare as long as sheep or cows.

\textbf{Figure of speech}-Simile

Simile-A simile is a figure of speech that uses comparison using words like 'like','as' etc.

Since a direct comparison has been made with sheep or cows, therefore the figure of speech used here is simile.

\textsf{\large{\underline{Other figures of speech}:-}}

Some other important figures of speech are as follows:-

  • Alliteration-The repetition of consonant sound in a series of words is known as alliteration.

Example-The child bounced the ball at the backyard barbeque.

  • Onomatopoeia-This figure of speech is used to imitate the sound associated with the action.

Example-The sausages were sizzling in the pan.

  • Personification-It is a figure of speech used to give human characteristics to objects or animals.

Example-The opportunity knocked at his door.

  • Hyperbole-It is a figure of speech used to exaggerate or heighten the effect of something in a sentence.

Example-I died of embarrassment.

  • Irony-Irony is a figure of speech that expresses something opposite to the literal meaning of the word usually for humour.

Example-Your hands are as clean as mud.

  • Anaphora-It is the repetition of words or phrases at the beginning of sentences or clauses.

Example-Get busy living or get busy dying.
