I’m working on a communications multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Here is a list of stylistic devices.

Stylistic Devices:

  1. Imagery – Sensory language
  2. Similes – using “as” or “like” to compare two things
  3. Metaphors – describing one thing in terms of another
  4. Personification – assigning human qualities to inanimate objects
  5. Hyperbole – exaggeration
  6. Alliteration – Repeat consonant
  7. Assonance – Repeat vowel
  8. Antithesis – presenting opposites in one sentence
  9. Repetition – repeating a phrase/sentence

Assign a stylistic device to each of the following statements (each one is used only once)

  1. They fought like cats and dogs.
  2. His house is large enough to have it’s own zip code.
  3. My computer throws a fit every time I try to use it.
