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.
