Language Features

`

Definition
Example from the poem
How effective do you think it was? Did you like it?
Simile
Saying that one thing is similar to another e.g. My fingers are like ice.
Down like a dog on the highway
I think it was effective because it describes what it looked like.
Metaphor
Saying that one thing is another e.g. My fingers are ice.
The wind was a torrent of darkness
Yes because, it explained it was a dark spooky night
Alliteration
Starting a series of words with the same consonant sound e.g. A big black boulder.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed.
I think it was because I could imagine the sounds.
Repetition
Repeating the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer.
The highwayman came riding, riding, riding up to the old indoor
I think it was effective because I can easily imagine him on his horse.
Symbolism
The use of one object or action (a symbol) to represent or suggest something else.
Red, Heart, love, blood.
No, because she killed herself for no reason.
