  1. Literary Devices

  2. Rhyme • Repetition of sounds at the end of words (shell and well) • Internal Rhyme: rhyming words within the same line • End Rhyme: use of rhymes at end of lines • Pattern of end rhymes in a poem is called the rhyme scheme

  3. Rhythm • The pattern of sound created by stressed and unstressed syllables in a line • Stressed syllables are word parts that are read with emphasis, while unstressed syllables are less emphasized

  4. Repetition • Sounds, words, phrases, or lines that are stated or used more than once • Used to emphasize an idea or convey a certain meaning • Happy, happy, happy, so happy!

  5. Alliteration • Repeated consonant sounds occurring at the beginning of words or within words is alliteration. • used to create melody, establish mood, call attention to important words, and point out similarities and contrasts. • Example: wide-eyed and wondering while we wait for others to waken

  6. Imagery • Words and phrases that appeal to the five senses • Poets use imagery to create a picture in the reader’s mind • Example: The wet green grass gleamed.

  7. Simile • A comparison of two things with a common quality • Expressed using the words like or as • Example: The dog was as small as a mouse. • Example: The horse was skinny like twig. • Example: The muscles on his brawny arms are strong as iron bands.

  8. Metaphor • Also a comparison of two things with a common quality but it does not use the words like or as. • Example: The road was a ribbon of moonlight. Is the road literally a ribbon of moonlight? Of course not – the language here is figurative, not literal.

  9. Personification • A figure of speech that gives the qualities of a person to an animal, an object • Example: A brave handsome oak fell with a creaking rending cry–the author is giving a tree human qualities.

  10. Onomatopoeia • use of words that mimic sounds. • appeal to our sense of hearing and they help bring a description to life. • Example: Caarackle! Zap! Buzz! Whoosh!

  11. Symbol • A person, place, an object, or an action that stands for something beyond itself. • Example: Bald Eagle is a symbol for the United States of America.

  12. Irony • Is a contrast between what is expected and what actually exists. • Example: “The Ransom of Red Chief,” it is ironic that Red Chief enjoys being kidnapped.

  13. hyperbole • A figure of speech in which the truth is exaggerated for emphasis or humorous effect • Example: But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be that man who walk a thousand miles to fall down at your door
