Study Notes

Figurative Language

Simile: Compares two things using "like" or "as" to create mental images; e.g., "She is as beautiful as a butterfly."
Metaphor: States one thing is another to enhance understanding; e.g., "Life is a roller coaster."
Personification: Attributes human qualities to inanimate objects; e.g., "The fog crept across the bay."
Emotive Language: Uses specific words to evoke emotions; e.g., synonyms like "adored" for "loved" heighten emotional impact.

Sound Devices

Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds for lyrical quality; e.g., "The foul house stood sound asleep."
Sibilance: Repetition of "s" sounds to create a hissing effect; e.g., "Sally sells seashells by the seashore."
Rhythm: Regular patterns of sounds that make writing engaging; e.g., "Because I could not stop for death…"
Rhyme: Similar sounding words at line endings for rhythm and pleasure; e.g., "Twinkle, twinkle little star…"

Language Features Techniques

Alliteration: Same consonant sounds at the beginning of words enhance flow; e.g., "Wild wet Wellington."
