Paradox
A statement which apparently
contradicts itself
Example:
“Thence
Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail”
-Robert Browning

Onomatopoeia
The sound of the word is like the sound
of the thing it is describing
Example:
“Pop, pop, pop!
Says the popcorn in the pan”
-Louise Abney
Quit
Allegory
Story where persons and events are meant to
represent something other than themselves
alone
Example: TIME
“Who’s creeping around the clock so rapidly?
Where are you going? Who are you? Round
and round again. Every move you make
screaming and scolding, ‘Rush! Rush! Hurry!’
STOP!”
-Jennifer, age 13
Quit
Hyperbole
An exaggeration
Example:
“Suddenly night leaves
And light takes its place
Shining like a ball of fire
Like a parade
Cymbals! Horns! Drums!
You know the morning has arrived.”

Oxymoron
Two apparently opposite ideas are put
together (a squashed paradox)
Example:
“Freezing fire, burning ice”
-John Milton

Repetition
Repeating words or whole groups of words
Example:
“Loosen the knot of birds.
Don’t ruffle the leaves.
Don’t rattle the trees.
Don’t blow over the bike.
Fold the rainbow neatly.”
-Billy, age 9
Quit
Metaphor
Direct comparison without using the
words “like” or “as”
Example:
“Broken glass in the alley,
Broken glass in the street.
I am the city wind.
I whip through slums
On a rainy day.”
-Tim, age 10
Quit
Simile
Comparison using the words “like” or “as”
Example:
“Brave man
On a high wire
Above the spellbound crowd.
Like a spider on its silk web,
He glides.”
