writer uses to produce special
effect in their writing.

adds texture, energy, and excitement to the
narrative, grip the reader's imagination, and
convey information.
Since we already know the meaning of the
literary device, let us now discover the most
common types of literary devices.

these?

So, in order to recall each of our literary

simile. Now, based from what you see, what

Simile is used in an object, idea,
character, and actions and is
compared to another thing using
“like” or “as”.

of a song, all you have to do is to identify on
what literary device is being described. The
last person on the line will guess the answer
and pass it to the next person in front. You are
going to pass and pass until the answer
reaches the first person on the line. When the
answer is already on the first person, he/she
will shout it loud. The first group who will be
done will get an additional five points in our
seatwork. I will give you a minute each lyric
to accomplish your task.
