Alliteration - The commencement of two or more words of a word group with the same letter, as in Apt Alliteration's Artful Aid

Allusion - A passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication: an allusion to Shakespeare.

Analogy - A similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.

Assonance -
1. Resemblance of sounds.
2. Also called vowel rhyme. Prosody. rhyme in which the same vowel sounds are used with different consonants in the stressed syllables of the rhyming words, as in penitent and reticence.

Blank Verse - Unrhymed verse, esp. the unrhymed iambic pentameter most frequently used in English dramatic, epic, and reflective verse.

Imagery - The formation of mental images, figures, or likenesses of things, or of such images collectively: the dim imagery of a dream.

Metaphor - A comparison that does not use the words; "like" or "as"

Meter - Poetic measure; arrangement of words in regularly measured, patterned, or rhythmic lines or verses.

Onomatopoeia - The formation of a word, as cuckoo or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.

Personification - Giving an inanimate object human traits.

Repetition - The act of repeating; repeated action, performance, production, or presentation

Rhyme Scheme - The pattern of rhymes used in a poem, usually marked by letters to symbolize correspondences, as rhyme royal, ababbcc.

Rhythm - Metrical or rhythmical form; meter.

Free Verse - Verse that does not follow a fixed metrical pattern.

Simile - A comparison using the words; "like" or "as"

Stanza - An arrangement of a certain number of lines, usually four or more, sometimes having a fixed length, meter, or rhyme scheme, forming a division of a poem.

Symbol - A word, phrase, image, or the like having a complex of associated meanings and perceived as having inherent value separable from that which is symbolized, as being part of that which is symbolized, and as performing its normal function of standing for or representing that which is symbolized: usually conceived as deriving its meaning chiefly from the structure in which it appears, and generally distinguished from a sign.

Tone - To give a particular tone or inflection to.

Answer 3

Laure, it depends on the reason. If, for example, you put off your own desires for the desires of others, that is altruism. "...eradication of self-centered desire, and a life devoted to the good of others; more particularly, selfless love and devotion to Society. In brief, it [is] self-abnegat[ion]..." as devised by Compte, who coined the term. I don't recommend "self-abnegation." Why not go all the way and kill yourself? You would not be miserable, at the least. On the other hand, maybe it is psychological, in which case any invalid epistemological priniciple you work by could be that cause. Yes--it could be "your mother; your bf; your drug problem; no money; no car; on and on, etc." But any excuse is excused by an unworkable principle of epistemology.
