2. LITERARY DEVICES

3. ALLITERATION
• Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same
kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables
of a phrase. Alliteration developed largely through poetry, in
which it more narrowly refers to the repetition of a consonant in
any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed.
• Example :
1. … as something inferior from as far away as twenty yards,
whereas Senior Kashmir ‘got class’. (page 46, line 6)
2. ‘Dearest Darling Ruku’ (page 47, line 2 & 3)

4. ALLUSION
• Allusion is a figure of speech, in which one refers covertly or
indirectly to an object or circumstance from an external context.
It is left to the reader or hearer to make the connection, where
the connection is detailed in depth by the author, it is preferable
to call it "a reference".
1. With pleasure, Rukumani recognized her class-mate Johnny
Chew, who was regarded with respect as the ‘walking
economics bible’. (page 41, line 41 & 42)

5. HYPERBOLE
• Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or
figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to
create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
1. You’re driving me to the grave ! (page 49, line 10)

6. METAPHOR
• Metaphor is a person that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some
point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. It is a
figure of speech comparing two unlike things without using either "like" or "as".
It is not to be mistaken with a simile which does use "like" or "as" in comparisons.
Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures
of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or
resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and cat.
1. Two sorrowful eyes looked steadily at Rukumani for signs of shame. (page 42,
line 38)

7. ONOMATOPOEIA
• The term ‘Onomatopoeia’ refers to words whose very sound is
very close to the sound they are meant to depict. In other words,
it refers to sound words whose pronunciation to the actual sound
they represent.
Other example : huff, buzz, snap, boom, crash, pow, and quack.
1. Amy kept glancing up from her Economics at the hesitant
Rukumani and at last grunted (page 46, line 46 & 47)
2. the men adding a grunt or two when their opinions were asked.
(page 44, line 6)

8. REPETITION
• Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a sentence or
a poetical line, with no particular placement of the words, in
order to secure emphasis. This is such a common literary device
that it is almost never even noted as a figure of speech.
1. far, far away (page 46, line 15)

9. SIMILE
• Simile is a rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that
directly compares two objects through some connective word
such as like, as, so, than, or many other verbs such as resembles.
1. as far away as twenty yards (page 46, line 6)
2. Rukumani’s mother left with as much dignity as she could muster
(page 48, line 16)
3. Train journey boring like hell (page 41, line 40)
