Hello

Answer:

Figures of speech lend themselves particularly well to literature and poetry. They also pack a punch in speeches and movie lines. Indeed, these tools abound in nearly every corner of life.

1. Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sounds of neighboring words.

eg ; She sells seashells.

2. Hyperbole

Hyperbole uses exaggeration for emphasis or effect.

eg ;  I've told you to stop a thousand times.

3. Irony

Irony occurs when there's a marked contrast between what is said and what is meant, or between appearance and reality.

eg ; The Titanic was said to be unsinkable but sank on its first voyage.

4. Metaphor

A metaphor makes a comparison between two unlike things or ideas.

eg ; Heart of stone

5. Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is the term for a word that sounds like what it is describing.

eg ; Whoosh

         Splat

          Buzz

6.Personification

Personification gives human qualities to non-living things or ideas.

eg ;The flowers nodded.

7. Simile

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using the words "like" or "as."

eg ; As slippery as an eel

       Like peas in a pod

There are many more but i think these are basic ones. Hope it helps you.
