    FIGURES OF SPEECH

    • A figure of speech is an expression used to make a greater effect on your


    reader or listener. It includes making comparisons, contrasts,
    associations, exaggerations and constructions. It also gives a much
    clearer picture of what you are trying to convey.

    • Simile Metaphor
    • Personification Apostrophe
    • Alliteration Assonance
    • Hyperbole Euphemism
    • Antithesis Oxymoron
    • Epigram Irony
    • Pun Metonymy
    • Synecdoche Transferred Epithet
    SIMILE
    MEANING
    • A simile is a figure of speech that is mainly used to compare two
    or more things that possess a similar quality. It uses words such
    as ‘like’ or ‘as’ to make the comparison.
    EXAMPLES
    • As slow as a sloth
    • As busy as a bee
    • As innocent as a lamb
    • Jumps like a frog
    • Sings like a cuckoo
    • Runs like the wind
    USAGE
    * My love is like a red rose.
    * My brother and I fight like cats and dogs all the time.
    ALLITERATION
    MEANING
    • Alliteration is a literary device that uses similar phonetic
    sounds in continuity to make an effect. This device is usually
    used to decorate the words with a musical, lyrical or
    emotional effect.
    examples(samuel taylor)
    • The fair breeze blew,

    • The white foam flew,

    • And the furrow followed free.


    OXYMORON
    • MEANING
    • a phrase that combines two words that seem to be
    the opposite of each other.
    • EXAMPLES
    • Parting is such sweet sorrow.”
    • “Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
    METAPHOR
    • MEANINGS
    • A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to
    make a comparison, but in a way different from a
    simile. It makes the comparison as if it was literally
    true. In other words, it can be said that a metaphor
    is an implied comparison.
    • EXAMPLES
    • My mom has a heart of gold.
    • My friend’s sister, Sharon, is a night owl.
