Simile• A simile is a comparison between two
unlike things that have something in common. A simile always uses the words like or as to make a comparison.
Examples:
like two peas in a pod
my love is like a red, red rose
deer ran like the wind

Metaphor
• A metaphor is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that have something in common. The comparison is made without the use of like or as.
Examples:
Patty was a raging tiger when she lost her lunch money.
During the night the forest was a dark, frightening battlefield

Hyperbole• Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which
exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect. It may be confused with a simile because it often compares two items. The difference is that with a hyperbole the comparison is an exaggeration.
Examples:
I could sleep for a year.
This box weighs a ton.
His eyes were as round as saucers.

Personification
• Personification is when an author gives an idea, object, or animal qualities or traits of a person.
Examples:
a smiling moon
CD player sang a tune
car ran

Onomatopoeia
• Onomatopoeia is the imitation of natural sounds in word form. These words help us form mental pictures about the things, people, or places that are described.
Examples:
buzz,
hiss,
Roar
bang

Alliteration• Alliteration is the repetition of
usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables. When writers want to emphasize certain words, they may use alliteration
Examples:
down in the dumps
do or die
right as rain
Coca - Cola
