-we corrected the grammar packages that were due today

-make two of your own examples for the following lit. devices:

  • Alliteration – Repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of a series of words. This device uses sound to catch the reader’s attention. I kicked cold coffee coloured puddles is an alliteration because of the repeating “ck” sound.
  • Onomatopoeia – Words that sound like what they mean are called onomatopoeia. “Buzz”, “hiss”, “splash” are typical examples of this sound device. Also known as imitative harmony.

Comparison

 

  • Metaphor – A direct comparison between two dissimilar items. That baby is sugar sweet is a metaphor, comparing the baby to sugar.
  • Personification – A comparison between a non human item and a human so that the non human item is given human characteristics. The trees stretched their arms to the sky is a personification because the trees are described as if they are people stretching.
