Semantic Devices!


Authors Note: In class we have been working on semantic devices. Below, you will find some examples of semantic devices. My friends and I have worked together to come up with some examples! Enjoy!

 
Metaphor- The glowing star in the sky was a flashlight.

 
Simile- The people in the crowd were as loud as a blow-horn

 
Personification- The candle flame danced in the dark.

 
Hyperbole- I was so excited that I jumped  100 feet.

 
Puns- Becca beamed from ear to ear when doing gymnastics on the beam
 
Oxymoron- The couple was found alone together.

 
Irony-  I had such a blast at the mall- who wouldn't want to be robbed?


Alliteration- People at the park, played on the play set.
