Presentation transcript:

 There are two main categories of poetic devices: A) The sound of words B) The meaning of words The following definitions are some of the more common examples.

1. ALLITERATION – The repeated consonant sound at the beginning of words that are placed near or beside each other. eg. Fast and furious Peter and Andrew patted the ponies as Ascot. (both the p and t sounds count here)

2) ASSONANCE: The repeated vowel sounds at the beginning of words that are near each other. Eg. He’s a bruisin’ loser. The previous example: Andrew, patted, Ascot

3) CONSONANCE – the repetition of the sounds at the end of words placed near each other. It’s almost a rhyme Eg. Cool soul

4) ONOMATOPOEIA – Words that sound like their meaning. Eg. The tick of the clock boom, buzz, crackle, gurgle, hiss, pop, sizzle, snap, swoosh, whir, zip

1) IMAGERY – The use of vivid descriptions to create a physical and emotional centre. Eg. Tends to use the 5 senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste.

2) HYPERBOLE – an outrageous exaggeration used for effect. Eg. He weighs a tonne.

3) IRONY - A contradictory statement or situation to reveal a reality different from what appears to be true. Eg - Wow, thanks for expensive gift...let’s see: did it come with a Happy Meal or the Burger King equivalent?

4) METAPHOR - A direct comparison between two unlike things, stating that one is the other or does the action of the other. Eg - He’s a zero. Eg - Her fingers danced across the keyboard.

5) OXYMORON - A combination of two words that appear to contradict each other. Eg - a pointless point of view; bittersweet

6) PERSONIFICATION - Attributing human characteristics to an inanimate object, animal, or abstract idea. Eg – the trees whispered to each other gleefully.

7) PUN - Word play in which words with totally different meanings have similar or identical sounds. Example: Like a firefly in the rain, I’m de- lighted.

8) SIMILE - A direct comparison of two unlike things using “like” or “as.” Eg - He’s as dumb as an ox. Eg - Her eyes are like comets.

9) SYMBOL - An ordinary object, event, animal, or person to which we have attached extraordinary meaning and significance. Eg - a flag to represent a country a lion to represent courage a wall to symbolize separation.
