    This document discusses various figures of speech and literary devices: 1. Metaphor, simile, personification, onomatopoeia, metonymy, and synecdoche are defined as ways to convey meaning beyond the literal use of words. 2. Poetry devices are explained like alliteration, repetition, couplet, pentameter, and symbolism. Alliteration uses repeated initial sounds in words. Repetition can be used for contrast, parallelism, or syntax. 3. Examples from works like Horace, Anglo-Saxon poetry, Pope's Essay on Criticism, and Joyce's Dubliners are provided to illustrate the use of these figures of speech and literary techniques.
