Compare and contrast metaphors and similes and their purposes.

Some of the figures of speech are:

1.       Alliteration – the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.

2.       Metaphor – a comparison between unlike things without a comparative word such as like or as.

3.       Personification – the knack of inanimate objects or abstract concepts with animate or living things.

4.       Simile – a comparison between unlike things using a comparative word such as like or as.
