Literary Devices

Techniques the writer uses to express ideas artistically Universal tools of a writer the “football plays” of literature The “dance moves” of literature

Alliteration The repetition of initial consonant or vowel sounds in two or more successive or nearby words. Example: fit and fearless; as accurate as the ancient author. TONGUE TWISTERS!

Simile A figure of speech that compares two things that are not alike, using the words like, as, or than. Example: eyes gleaming like live coals, as delicate as a snowflake, colder than ice.

Metaphor A figure of speech in which one thing is said to be another thing. Example: Her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine. ( Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte).

Personification A figure of speech that attributes human qualities to an inanimate object. Example: The wind sighed. The moon hid behind the clouds.

Hyperbole A figure of speech that uses exaggeration. Example: Our chances are one in a million. I like this car ten times more than our other one. I will love you till the seas run dry.

Imagery Sensory imagery: language that evokes images and triggers memories in the reader of the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Example: The smacking of gum; the flowing gold silk sparkled in the sunlight.

Rhyme Words with identical sounds, but different spellings. Example: cat/hat, glare/air, tight/write. If is close but “off”=called slant rhyme

Repetition & Anaphora A device that uses the repeating of words, sounds, phrases, or sentences. Example: As I looked at the rolling of the red hills, I took a deep breath. The rolling of the red hills filled me with peace. I began to walk through the rolling of the red hills and closed my eyes. Anaphora A type of repetition in which the same word or phrase is used at the beginning of two or more sentences or phrases. Example: I love books, I love art, I love music, and I love food.

Symbol something that represents something else (an idea, feeling, process, etc.)ideaprocess The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a picture of a tent might represent a campsite. Little Women: the “jelly won’t gel” for Meg when she marries Mr. Brooke
