D. Presentation of the topic:


1. Based from the activity, what have you noticed?
2. What is Poetry?
3. What is Literary Devices?
Have you ever heard about literary devices?

Poetry- literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by
the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.

Literary Device- a literary device is any specific aspect of literature, or a particular work, which
we can recognize, identify, interpret and/or analyze. Both literary elements and literary techniques
can rightly be called literary devices.

*Literary Device*

1. Alliteration- the repetition of consonant sounds within close proximity, usually in


consecutive words within the same sentence or line.
Examples:
 Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
 Sally sells seashells by the sea shore.
2. Allusions- are generally regarded as brief but purposeful references, within a literary text,
to a person, place, event, or to another work of literature.
Examples:
 Chocolate is his Kryptonite.
 Sam is young and hungry for success.
3. Hyperbole- is a figure of speech you use when you want to exaggerate what you mean or
emphasize a point. It comes from the Greek word to mean “excess” and is often used to
make something sound much bigger, better, funnier, or more dramatic than it actually is.
Examples:
 I am so hungry, I could eat a horse.
 I love you to the moon and back.
 I have told you this 20,000 times.
4. Irony- in simplest terms, irony occurs in literature and in life whenever a person says
something or does something that departs from what they (or we) expect them to say or
do.
Examples:
 a character stepping out into a hurricane and saying, “What nice weather we're
having!”
 if it were a cold, rainy gray day, you might say, “What a beautiful day!”
5. Metaphor- is a comparison between two things that are otherwise unrelated. With
metaphor, the qualities of one thing are figuratively carried over to another.
Examples:
 Life is a highway.
 Her eyes were diamonds.
 He is a shining star.
6. Onomatopoeia- is a word that sounds like what it refers to. The combination of letter
sounds in the word imitate the natural sounds of that object or action.
Examples:
 The dog barked all night.
 The mouse went squeak as it ran across the room.
 Suddenly, there was a loud thud at the door.
7. Paradox- a paradox in writing is a statement that appears to contradict itself but upon
further inspection reveals a deeper truth, meaning, or joke.
Examples:
 The pen is mightier than the sword.
 Save money by spending it.

 This is the beginning of the end.

8. Oxymoron - is a figure of speech that combines contradictory words with opposing


meanings, like “old news,” “deafening silence,” or “organized chaos.” Oxymoron’s may
seem illogical at first, but in context they usually make sense.
Examples:
 Almost exactly.
 Only choice
9. Personification- is a poetic literary device in which non-living things are given human
traits.
Examples:
 Justice is blind and, at times, deaf.
 Money is the only friend that I can count on.
10. Simile- comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as (as in cheeks
like roses) compare metaphor.
Examples:
 She eats like a pig.
 She ran like lightning.
 He looks like a fish out of water.
11. Imagery- in any sort of writing, encompasses the use of literal or figurative language to
add symbolism and enable the reader to imagine the world of the piece of literature.
Examples:
 He felt like the flowers were waving hello.
 The baby's hair is soft and downy.
12. Symbolism- is the idea that things represent other things.
Examples:
 Apple = temptation
 Chains = imprisonment
 Crown = power
13. Idiom- is a widely used saying or expression containing a figurative meaning that differs
from the phrase's literal meaning.
Examples:
 Don't put all your eggs in one basket What you're doing is too risky
 Every cloud has a silver lining Good things come after bad things
14. Euphemism- is a word or phrase that softens an uncomfortable topic. It uses figurative
language to refer to a situation without having to confront it.
Examples:
 “Passed away” instead of “died”
 “Let go” instead of “fired”
 “Make love” instead of “sex”
15. Pun- is a joke based on the interplay of homophones, words that sound the same but have
different meanings. Puns in writing are most often used in a humorous way, to elicit a
“jokey” tone, but they can also be used to enhance a reader's interpretation, show off a
clever use of language, or generate irony.
Example:
 A boiled egg every morning is hard to beat.
