Literary Devices

Hyperbole: An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, often used for emphasis or humor. Example: "I’m so hungry I could eat a horse."
Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words to create rhythm or enhance mood. Example: "Go mow the lawn," where the long "o" sound is repeated.
Euphemism: A mild or indirect word or expression used to replace one that may be considered harsh or blunt. Example: "Passed away" instead of "died."
Apostrophe: A figure of speech in which a speaker directly addresses someone or something that isn’t present or cannot respond, often used to convey emotion. Example: Addressing a dead person or an abstract idea like love.
Paradox: A statement that seems contradictory but may reveal an underlying truth. It challenges the reader’s perspective. Example: "Less is more."
Example of a Paradox: "This statement is false." It's self-contradictory yet provokes thought about truth and belief.
