Literary Devices

Literary devices are techniques that writers use to enhance their storytelling and convey deeper meanings. Common examples include metaphors, which compare two unlike things to highlight a similarity; similes, which do the same but use "like" or "as"; and alliteration, the repetition of consonant sounds to create rhythm. Other devices include symbolism, where objects represent larger concepts, and foreshadowing, which hints at future events. These tools help enrich the text, evoke emotions, and engage readers, making the narrative more impactful and memorable.
