Onomatopoeia Metaphor Personification and Hyperbole

Onomatopoeia refers to Words that imitate natural sounds, like "buzz" or "sizzle." A metaphor makes a direct comparison between two unrelated things, suggesting they are alike in some way, such as saying "time is a thief." Personification gives human traits to non-human entities, like describing the wind as "whispering through the trees." Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, such as "I’m so hungry I could eat a horse."
