LITERARY DEVICES
• A literary device is a technique that a writer uses to
produce a special effect in their writing.
• The English language encompasses a host of figurative
language or literary devices that make it so rich and
expressive.

emotions is best understood by the applications of these
devices.
• Literary devices are common structures used in writing.

LITERARY DEVICES
Here are some examples:
• 1. SIMILE is one of the most commonly used literary devices; referring
to the practice of drawing parallels or comparisons between two
unrelated and dissimilar things, people, beings, places and concepts.
Similes are marked by the use of the words ‘as’ or ‘such as’ or ‘like
• Examples:
• You were as brave as a lion.
• They fought like cats and dogs.
• He is as funny as a barrel of monkeys.
• This house is as clean as a whistle.
• Your explanation is as clear as mud.
2. METAPHOR is one of the most extensively used literary
devices. A metaphor refers to a meaning or identity
ascribed to one subject by way of another. In a metaphor,
one subject is implied to be another so as to draw a
comparison between their similarities and shared traits.
Examples:
Laughter is the best medicine.
Words are daggers when spoken in anger.
War is the mother of all battles.
His words are pearls of wisdom.
• 3. HYPERBOLE is an unreal exaggeration to
emphasize the real situation. It is derived from a
Greek word meaning “over-casting,” and is a figure
of speech that involves an exaggeration of ideas for
the sake of emphasis.
• Examples:
• Your suitcase weighs a ton!
• I am dying of shame.
• I am trying to solve a million issues these days.
• 4. PERSONIFICATION - is a figure of speech in which a thing –
an idea or an animal – is given human attributes. The non-
human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they
have the ability to act like human beings. For
• example, when we say, “The sky weeps,” we are giving the
sky the ability to cry, which is a human quality. Thus, we can
say that the sky has been personified in the given sentence.
• Examples:
• Look at my car. She is a beauty, isn’t she?
• The wind whispered through dry grass.
• The flowers danced in the gentle breeze.
• 5. RHYME is a repetition of similar sounding
words, occurring at the end of lines in poems or
songs. A rhyme is a tool utilizing repeating patterns
that bring rhythm or musicality to poems. This
differentiates them from prose, which is plain.
• A rhyme is employed for the specific purpose of
rendering a pleasing effect to a poem, which
makes its recital an enjoyable experience.
Moreover, it offers itself as a mnemonic device,
smoothing the progress of memorization
• Example:
• “Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
• And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to
go.
• It followed her to school one day, which was against the
rule;
• It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at
school.

and Juliet, write at least one statement
