The wind whispered through the trees, its gentle voice soothing the worries of the forest.

Define metaphor.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things by stating that one thing is another. It is used to evoke a vivid image or understanding in the reader or listener by likening one thing to another in a way that is not meant to be taken literally.

Sally sang sweetly under the starry sky.

What is hyperbole?

Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, often not meant to be taken literally. It involves the use of extreme language to make a point, convey strong emotion, or create a vivid image in the reader or listener's mind.

Give an example of hyperbole.

I waited in line for an eternity.

Explain what onomatopoeia means.

Onomatopoeia is a literary device in which a word's pronunciation imitates the sound it represents, like "buzz" or "hiss." It is used to create vivid imagery and evoke sensory experiences in writing, allowing readers to better imagine or hear the sounds being described.

Provide an example of onomatopoeia.

The sound of a clock ticking "tick-tock" is an example of onomatopoeia, where the word imitates the actual sound it represents.
