Literary Elements

The example i chose was "The Gingko is like a crude sketch" from Pschulze.com. The device is a Simile because it is directly comparing two objects with the word like.
From Netpoets.com I chose an example from the poem "My Cousin". "His eyes so bright, his smile so wide". This device is a Metaphor because it is comparing two objects without using the words "like" or "as".
"The moon outside goes on humming the rest of her song", a quote from poetrysoup.com, from the poem "Mother Moon". The device is Personification because it gives the inanimate object(moon) human characteristics (humming).
"Since then, keen lessons that love decieves" comes from the poem "Neutral Tones" by Thomas Hardy. This device is an example of Assonance because it has an repetition of similar vowel sounds (like keen and decieves)
"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting", the source is online-literature.com, which the quote comes from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. The device is an example of Refrain because there's the forming of a phrase that is repeated at the end of the stanza. Mainly the intervals of the poem.
"But the Raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling". The specific source is from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. The device is an example of Symbol because the Raven symbolizes depression or disaster.
From famouspoetsandpoems.com i was able to track the quote, "In a vision, or in none is it therefore the less gone?" This device is an example of an Eye Rhyme because the rhyme is correct from spelling but the rhyme is slant.
"How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air of the night". The source of this quote comes from the poem "The Bells". The device is an example of Onomomatopoeia because the words suggest their meaning.
This quote i found came from a television show on BET called "Malcom And Eddie" which on one episode the character Eddie quoted "It's like a house feel on him". This quote is an example of a Simile because it was using "like" to compare a person with a house.
In "King Of The Hill" the Mother uses an example of hyperbole quoting "Sounds Fun" because it was being less sarcastic for serious effect.
