Literary Devices – In this session Amirtha talks about 5 Literary Devices which everyone should know for better communication. The Literary Devices covered are:
Similie: A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things by using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’ something else. They are compared indirectly.

Metaphor: The definition of a metaphor is “a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another. For example, “the curtain of night” or “all the world’s a stage.”

Euphemism: A generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant. Some euphemisms are intended to amuse; while others use bland, inoffensive terms for things the user wishes to downplay.

Personification: the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

Hyperbole: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

  1. Nice video Amritha. Really appreciate the content and the effort. Just to mention about the phonetics you used, it is you-phe-mism (euphemism) and hi-per-boli (hyperbole). [Not using the literal phonetics from the dictionary]
