Question

What is the difference between simile, metaphor, personification& alliteration?

Answer 1

Simile: Simile is a word or phrase that compares something to something else, using words ‘like’, or ‘as’, for example ‘Her gown was as white as snow.’

Metaphor: Metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe a person or else in a way that is different from its normal use, in order to show that the two things have the same qualities and to make the description more powerful, for example ‘She has a heart of stone.’

Personification: Personification is the technique or practice of representing objects, qualities, etc. as humans, in art and literature. Poems, ‘The Brook’, ‘Song of the Rain’, and ‘Ode to Autumn’ are some famous examples of personification.

Alliteration: Alliteration is the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that are close together, as ‘She sang a song of sixpence.’
