  • A simile uses like or as to compare seemingly unlike things.

  • A metaphor implies the comparison instead of directly stating it.

  • Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration.

  • Poets use personification to write about an idea, an object, or an animal as if it were human.

  • Onomatopoeia-  Words from a sound associated with what is named (e.g. cuckoo, boom).
