Answer:

A metaphor is a thing that is symbolic of something else, especially abstract.

*Usually creates a comparison without using like or as

Example:

- The English assignment was a breeze.

This implicates that the assignment was very easy

- My mom was boiling mad.

This implicates that she is very mad.

A simile compares two things using like or as

Example:

- Soldiers are as brave as lions.

This use of a simile compares the braveness of a soldier to that of a lion.

Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter at the beginning of words in a sentence.

Example:

- P eter P iper p icked a p eck of p ickled p eppers

- S he s ells s eashells by the s eashore

These sentences are nursery rhymes also known as tongue twisters because they start the words within the sentence begin with the same letter.

Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an idea or an animal – is given human attributes.

The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the ability to act like human beings. For example, when we say, “The sky weeps,” we are giving the sky the ability to cry, which is a human quality

Common Examples of Personification

Look at my car. She is a beauty, isn’t she?

The wind whispered through dry grass.

The flowers danced in the gentle breeze.

Time and tide wait for none.

The fire swallowed the entire forest
