Hello friend,
Simile-A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things.It draws resemblance with the help of the words “like” or “as”.
Metaphor-A figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.
Alliteration-The repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables.
Personification- The attribution of human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions, especially as a rhetorical figure.
Oxymoron- A figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous,seemingly self-contradictory effect.
Onomatopoeia- The formation of a word, as cuckoo, meow, honk, or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.
Hope this helps!
