The document discusses several writing techniques including alliteration, simile, metaphor, personification, assonance, and onomatopoeia. It provides definitions and examples for each technique. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, similes compare two unlike things, and metaphors are implicit comparisons. Personification gives human traits to non-human things, assonance repeats vowel sounds, and onomatopoeia mimics sounds with words. These techniques can be used in poems, stories, speeches and other writing.
