Answer 1

It's always good to do your own homework and o never be lazy... but I too like to be reminded of the meanings of these words:

Alliteration - the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

Allusion - an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference

Assonance - in poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible

Blank Verse - verse without rhyme, esp. that which uses iambic pentameter.

Connotation - an idea or feeling that a word invokes person in addition to its literal or primary meaning

Denotation - the literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests

Imagery - visually descriptive or figurative language, esp. in a literary work

Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable

Onomatopoeia - the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g., cuckoo, sizzle).

Oxymoron - a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., faith unfaithful kept him falsely true).

Personification - the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. • a figure intended to represent an abstract quality

Simile - a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox).

Sonnet - a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line.

Stanza - a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit in a poem; a verse.

Tone - a manner of expression in writing

your teacher is probably going to ask you to create examples these literary techniques. simply having turned in the definition is not going to help you understand what they are. you need to learn what they are (by looking them up yourself) so that you can create examples.

Do your own work.
