Study Notes
Figures of Speech & Sound Devices: Analysis of Examples
-
"The sizzling sun scorched the sandy shore, silently stealing strength from sunbathers."*
-
Alliteration: This sentence exemplifies alliteration.
- The repetition of the 's' sound at the beginning of several words ("sizzling sun scorched sandy shore silently stealing strength sunbathers") creates a noticeable auditory effect.
- Alliteration emphasizes the sounds, drawing attention to the phrase and making it more memorable.
- (中文翻譯：頭韻。這個句子是頭韻的例子，因為多個單字的開頭重複了“s”的發音（"sizzling sun scorched sandy shore silently stealing strength sunbathers"），產生了明顯的聽覺效果。頭韻可以強調發音，吸引人們注意這個短語，並使其更容易記住。)
-
"Life is but a dream, oh fleeting shadow of time!"*
-
Apostrophe: This line uses apostrophe.
- The speaker directly addresses an abstract concept ("fleeting shadow of time") as if it were a person or entity that can hear and respond.
- Apostrophe is used to express strong emotion or create a dramatic effect by directly engaging with something that is not physically present.
- (中文翻譯：呼語。這句話使用了呼語，說話者直接向一個抽象概念（“流逝的時間陰影”）發出呼喚，彷彿它是一個可以聽到並回應的人或實體。呼語通常用來表達強烈的情感，或是藉由直接與非實際存在的對象互動來創造戲劇效果。)
