    OVERVIEW
    Alliteration
    Hyperbole
    Metaphor
    Simile
    Onomatopoeia
    Personification
    Oxymoron
    Irony
    1
    ALLITERATIONS
    Alliteration happens when the beginning of words
    start with the same consonant or vowel sounds.
    All the words must be close together.

    An example of alliteration is: “She sells seashells by


    the seashore.” The ‘s’ sound is repeated at the start
    of most words.

    2
    HYPERBOLE
    Hyperbole is a figure of speech
    that uses exaggeration to give a
    certain impact within your
    statement.

    EXAMPLE:
    I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse!
    (The underlined words are
    exaggerations.)
    3
    METAPHOR
    A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares dissimilar
    objects that are alike in some way.
    They help create a clearer picture.
    DO NOT use these words: like, as, than, similar to and
    resembles.

    EXAMPLES:
    My teacher is a monster. (meaning the teacher is evil)
    She’s such an angel! (meaning she’s very kindhearted)
    I asked him out but he broke my heart. (he rejected you)
    4
    SIMILE
    A simile is a figure of speech which
    resembles a metaphor but uses these
    words: like, as, than, similar to.
    EXAMPLES:
    As light as a feather - The kitten was as
    light as a feather in my arms.
    As brave as a lion - She faced the challenge
    as brave as a lion.
    Like two peas in a pod - The twins are like
    two peas in a pod. 5
    ONOMATOPOEIA
    Onomatopoeia is the usage of word
    which best demonstrates the sound
    it makes.

    Comics are a good resource to find


    these “sound words” such as: crash,
    boom, bang, crunch, kerplunk, zap
    and buzz.

    6
    PERSONIFICATION
    Personification is a figure of speech Examples:
    which uses a strategy to give The camera hates me.
    objects, things or animals human Means: I take an awful
    characteristics which we recognize picture.
    in ourselves. The alarm clock screamed
    at me to wake up.
    Personification has the root word
    Means: The alarm clock
    “person” to give you a clue as to
    was so loud.
    how this figure of speech was
    developed.

    7
    OXYMORON
    A two to three word phrase that contains opposite
    words or ideas, contradictory to one another

    Example: Deafening Silence


    Awfully Good
    Pretty Ugly

    8
    PUNS
    A play on words! They can be
    used humorously, alike jokes.
    But can also be used seriously in
    literature.
    EXAMPLES
    Denial is a river in Egypt.
    (referring to The Nile)
    This vacuum sucks. (Vacuums,
    quite literally do suck.)
    11
