        \n
      • Alliteration<\/strong>: This is an example of alliteration, where the initial consonant sound “H” is repeated in close succession within the same phrase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The wind sung as it blew through the trees.<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Personification<\/strong>: Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human things. Here, the wind is described as “singing,” which is a human action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Life is a highway.<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Metaphor<\/strong>: This is a metaphor because life is directly compared to a highway without using “like” or “as.” It suggests that life has a continuous, winding path, similar to a highway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The door creaked when my brother opened it.<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Onomatopoeia<\/strong>: The word “creaked” is an example of onomatopoeia, where the word imitates the sound that the door makes when opened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Our basement was as dark as a cave.<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Simile<\/strong>: This is a simile because it compares the darkness of the basement to that of a cave using the word “as.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Her suitcase was heavier than an elephant.<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • Hyperbole<\/strong>: This is a hyperbole, which is an exaggerated way of stating that the suitcase was extremely heavy. Comparing it to an elephant intensifies the weight beyond realistic measure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Ivan ran out of steam at the end of the race.<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  • Idiomatic Expression<\/strong>: This is an idiomatic expression, where the phrase “ran out of steam” means Ivan became exhausted or lost energy, drawing from the idea of a steam engine losing power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
