After the lesson on literary devices, i had learnt a lot of new and interesting words. For instance, words like onomatopoeia and alliteration may not be seen often in our daily lives but used often instead. We normally use onomatopoeia to echo the sound that we want to describe such as gobble, quack and cackle. On the other hand, alliteration is used by repeating the initial consonant sounds, to produce a rhythmical effect. An example of it is the phrase : a furrow followed tree. Interesting isn't it? Among all the literary devices that i had learnt, the word which caught my attention the most is the word Oxymoron. Oxymoron is a single image or idea made up of contradictory. Examples of it are, Thundering silence and sweet sorrow. Its just amazing how words of opposite definition could come together and make up a word which actually make sense. Therefore i find this word very interesting and at the same time fun to explore!
Thus i find this lesson on literary devices meaningful as not only does it help us in our examinations but at the same time widen our vocabulary knowledge. Hence, i would like to have such lesson again to learn more new and unseen words .
