      \n
    1. Handy Henry had many hammers.<\/strong>
      Alliteration<\/strong>: This is an example of alliteration, where the initial consonant sound (“h”) is repeated in close succession within the same line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The wind sung as it blew through the trees.<\/strong>
      Personification<\/strong>: Personification is used here because the wind is given the human characteristic of singing, something that only people or animals can do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Life is a highway.<\/strong>
      Metaphor<\/strong>: This is a metaphor, where life is compared to a highway without using “like” or “as.” The comparison suggests that life is a journey with its twists and turns, just like a road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. The door creaked when my brother opened it.<\/strong>
      Onomatopoeia<\/strong>: “Creaked” is an example of onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound made by the door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Our basement was as dark as a cave.<\/strong>
      Simile<\/strong>: This is a simile because it uses “as” to compare the darkness of the basement to a cave, emphasizing the level of darkness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Her suitcase was heavier than an elephant.<\/strong>
      Hyperbole<\/strong>: This is a hyperbole, an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. It suggests that the suitcase is very heavy by comparing it to the extreme weight of an elephant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Ivan ran out of steam at the end of the race.<\/strong>
      Idiom<\/strong>: This is an idiomatic expression. “Ran out of steam” means to lose energy or become exhausted, typically not referring to actual steam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
