22. LITERARY
DEVICES

23. One of the most commonly used literary
devices; referring to the practice of drawing
parallels or comparisons between two
unrelated and dissimilar things, people,
beings, places, and concepts.
Similes are marked by the use of the words
`as’ or `such as’ or `like.’
SIMILES
23

24. × He is like a mouse in front of a
teacher
× As busy as a bee.
× As cold as ice.
× They fought like cats and dogs.
× I ran like the wind.
Examples:
24

25. Refers to the use of indicative
words/phrases and hints that set the stage
for a story to unfold and give the reader a
hint of something that is going to happen
without revealing the story or spoiling the
suspense.
Foreshadowing is used to suggest an
upcoming outcome to the story.
FORESHADOWING
25

26. × He had no idea of the disastrous chain of events
to follow.
× A character’s thoughts can foreshadow. For
example, “I told myself this is the end of my
trouble, but I didn’t believe myself.”
× A pre-scene shows something that will reoccur.
For example, in a western movie, the good guy
enters a bar, has a drink and leaves. The bad guy
scowls and spits on the floor and you know there
is definitely more to come between them.
Examples:
26

27. Foreshadowing in Literature
“The leaves fell early that year.”
“Life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy
love.”
Examples:

28. Rhyme scheme is the practice of
rhyming words placed at the end
of the lines in prose or poetry.
Rhyme scheme refers to the order
in which particular words rhyme.
RHYME
28

29. × Roses are red (a) Violets are blue (b)
Beautiful they all may be (c) But I love
you (b) The above is an “a-b-c-b” rhyme
scheme.
× The sun is shining bright
This is a lovely sight.
× There flows the river
That’s amongst the greatest giver.
Examples:
29

30. Is just the simple repetition of a
word, within a sentence or a
poetical line, with no particular
placement of the words.
This is such common literary device
that is almost never even noted as
a figure of speech.
REPETITION
30

31. × Today, as never before, the fates
of men are so intimately linked.
× Time after time
× Sorry, not sorry.
× Boys will be boys.
Examples:
31

32. Is significantly literary device as it allows the
author to use contradictory, contrasting
concepts placed together in a manner that
actually ends up making sense in strange,
and slightly complex manner.
An oxymoron is an interesting literary device
because it helps to perceive deeper level of
truth and explore different layers of
semantics while writing.
OXYMORON
32

33. × Sometimes we cherish things of little
value. He possessed cold fire in his eyes.
× Silent scream
× Same difference
× Big baby
× Alone together
Examples:
33

34. One of the most extensively used
by way of another.
In a metaphor, one subject is
implied to be another so as to
draw a comparison between their
similarities and shared traits.
METAPHOR

× Life is a highway.
