Simple Sensory Language and Sound Devices

To add details, writers will use different types of sensory language. Read

the description of each below, and try writing some of your own. Which is

your favorite?

Alliteration: Using the same consonant sound again and again to get the

reader’s attention- This is sometimes like a tongue twister.

Ex: Several silly sheep slept sideways. ________________________________________

Simile: Making a comparison using like or as

Ex: My brother is as mean as a snake.

_______________________________________________

Metaphor: Making a comparison without using like or as

Ex: My dog was a monster eating everything in his path!

_______________________________________________

Personification: Giving a human characteristic to something that isn’t

human
