I also informed you that you would have a quiz on Monday on the following figurative devices:
R – epetition: repetition, repetition, repetition
R – hetorical question: a question asked but desiring no answer
A – llusion: when an indirect reference is made to literature, history, pop-culture

A-ssonance: the repetition of a vowel sound in consecutive words
P – ersonification: giving human qualities to inanimate objects
P- athetic fallacy: when the weather reflects the mood
S- ynecdoche: when a part stands for the whole (behind bars – for prison)
O – nomatopoeia: when the word sounds like itself. Ex: bang, crash
