In literature, any technique used to help the author achieve his or her purpose is called a literary device.

some examples are following:

Metaphor

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

e. g. The world’s a stage.

Simile

A simile also compares two things. However, similes use the words "like" or "as."

e. g. Brave as a lion.

Personification

Personification gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or ideas. Personification is often used in poetry, fiction, and children's rhymes.

e. g. The sky was full of dancing stars.

Hyperbole

It tends toward the ridiculous or the funny. Hyperbole adds color and depth to a character.

e. g. You snore louder than a freight train!
