- Example: "Time is a thief."

- Example: "Her smile was like sunshine."
- Personification: Giving human characteristics to non-human things.
- Example: "The wind whispered through the trees."
- Symbolism: Objects, actions, or ideas that represent something beyond their literal meaning.
- Example: "The tiger symbolizes power, mystery, and perhaps the darker aspects of creation."
