What are the most common
literary devices used in
literature?
Figurative Language
● Language that has meaning beyond the literal meaning also
known as “figures of speech”

● A figure of speech is a rhetorical device that achieves special


effect by using words in a distinctive way
SIMILE
● is an expression comparing one thing to another using the words
“like” or “as”
Examples:
He ran like a cat, lightly and quietly.
Her blue mood passed as quickly as an afternoon rain shower.
METAPHOR
● Direct comparison of two unlike things without using the words “like” or
“as”.

Examples:

He was a statue, waiting to hear the news.

She was a mother hen, trying to take care of everyone around her.
HYPERBOLE
● exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally

Examples:

I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!

I love you to the moon and back.


PERSONIFICATION
● the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something
nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form

Examples:

My car drank the gasoline in one gulp.

Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name.


ONOMATOPOEIA
● a word that imitates the sound it represents

● Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as oink, meow (or miaow), roar, and
chirp

Examples:

The pigs oink as they flop in the mud.


The mooing of the cows was hard to miss.
IMAGERY
● visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work
● the product of image makers
Examples:

The smell reminded him of rotting tomatoes.

The fence was uneven, like baby teeth growing awkwardly in.
FORESHADOWING
● Important hints that an author drops to prepare the reader for what is to come,
and help the reader anticipate the outcome

Examples:

A pipe is going to burst, but before it does, the author writes a scene where the family
notices a small dark spot on the ceiling, but ignores it.
ALLITERATION
● the repetition of the same consonant sound in words occurring near one
another

Examples:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

The big, bad bear scared all the baby bunnies by the bushes.
ALLUSION
● a casual reference to a famous historical or literary figure or event

Examples:

If it doesn’t stop raining, I’m going to build an ark.

My sister has so many pets I’m going to call myself Old McDonald.
ASSONANCE
● Assonance creates internal rhyming within phrases or sentences by repeat
vowel sounds that are the same

Examples:

On a proud round cloud in white high nigh.

It beats . . . as it sweeps . . . as it cleans!


OXYMORON
● a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction

Examples:

There is a real love hate relationship developing between the two of them.
Suddenly the room filled with a deafening silence.
SYMBOLISM
● an object or action that means something more than its literal meaning

Examples:

Pink - the fight against breast cancer

The Statue of Liberty – freedom

Roses stand for romance

Chrysanthemums represent perfection

Lilies stand for beauty and temptation


IDIOM
● an expression with a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words

Examples:

I got cold feet before my speech = was scared my boss

gave me the green light = my boss said yes

draw the curtains = close the curtains

put the lights out = turn off the lights


CLICHÉ
● an expression that has lost its power or originality from overuse

Examples:

They all lived happily ever after

Read between the lines

Fall head over heels

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed

good to know (it is common in nonfiction)

point of view in commercial fiction. The narrator is outside of the story and relating the
experiences of a character

● Third person point of view, omniscient. The story is still about “he” or “she,” but the narrator
has full access to the thoughts and experiences of all characters in the story
