Figures of a Speech (Let's learn series #8 : English Literature)

<html>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello learners! So what's up? Why don't we start this year's lessons with an advanced lesson? So let's see what the examples for the Figures of Speech.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Simile</h2>
<p>A comparison between two different things which are alike in some point. Here, we use ''as'' or ''like''</p>
<p>eg:</p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</em><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51W0hiAJRGL.jpg" width="387" height="500"/></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51W0hiAJRGL.jpg">Image source</a></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She is beautiful as a flower.</em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She is busy like a bee.</em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My uncle is fat as an elephant.</em></p>
<h2>Metaphor</h2>
<p>This is a comparison expressed directly.</p>
<p><em>eg:&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes I'm a headache for my parents.</em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She is a real genius.</em></p>
<h2>Personification</h2>
<p>Here an inanimate or an abstract thing is treated as a person or a living thing.</p>
<p><em>eg:&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://media.buzzle.com/media/images-en/gallery/human-expressions/450-96096890-toaster-with-bread.jpg" width="450" height="300"/></p>

<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes my pen sleeps in my pencil case.</em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Steem is great and sometimes he jumps so high.</em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A bed is always loved and hugged by his owners.</em></p>
<h2>Alliteration</h2>
<p>The repetition of the same consonant sound in two or more words in close succession.</p>
<p><em>eg:&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="http://www.yourdictionary.com/image/articles/15800.Alliteration.jpg"/></p>

<p><em>He clasps the crag with crooked hands (The Eagle by A.L.Tennyson)</em></p>
<h2>Assonance</h2>
<p>The repetition of the same vowel sound in close succession.</p>
<p><em>eg:&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/infogram-particles-700/paris1378_1383571495.png" width="473" height="199"/></p>

<p><em>The heavy door banged shut.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><em>This is the first English literature lesson I had and also the first I taught. I learnt these things today. So don't hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong at any point.</em></p>
<p><em>Thank you for stopping by</em></p>
