metaphor and simile

you might get confused when you are asked to differentiate between a metaphor and a simile

i can give you an example

out of this 1st one shows an application of simle and the 2nd one shows a metaphor

personification is an important literary device.

the poem frog and nightingale is entirely personified .

it's when those creatures/ objects which are not born a human are given / ornated with human qualitiesor humans traits. in the poem mirror sylvia path has personified the mirror which is an inanimte object by giving the mirror human qualities, human emotions, etc. she has given the mirror a throbbing heart. filled with grand human thoughts , regrets, sorrow, glee etc

alliteration is another literary device where a simiar sound repeates one after another in a line continuously

onomatopoeia is a device where the the word used to express a typical sound/ move etc sounds exactly how it goes.

the chilren heard the crow cawing

where cawing is a typical example of onomatopoia

oxymoron is a literary device where two words with opposite meanings are combined together and written either to give a sarcastic outlook or a grandiloquent taste.

example disagreeably pleasant

transferred ephithet is another one

here, a word is described by supplying an adjective

still the description will point to someother noun rather than the noun following the adjective. for example in the chapter letter there is a usage " the lonely way" . here regarding the case of ali thehis way is not lonely, his life is more lonely after miriam's disappearnce from his lfe. the word lonely describes something that can be spotted only outside the box.

dear friend remember to revise pun and irony also
