Imagery: Occurs
when an author uses an object that is not really there, in order to
create a comparison between one that is, usually evoking a more
meaningful visual experience for the reader.
Ex: Song- Hotel California
“In the masters chambers they’re gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can’t
kill the best”
Irony: The
expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies
the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
Ex: Song- Californication
“Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging”
Metaphor: Is a literary figure of speech that
describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of
comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Is also a
type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of
speech that achieve their effects via association or comparison.
Ex: Song- Going to California
“The sea was red and the sky was grey (…) as the children of the sun began to awake”
