An author needs to find a balance between using too much and too little description.<br> <br> Alliteration is a device often used in poetry in which words have the same initial sound.<br> <br> Allusion is when an author makes a reference to another work in order to create a desired effect.<br> <br> Hyperbole is using exaggeration to make a point, such as saying that “I was so hungry I could eat a horse.”<br> <br> Personification is when an author gives human attributes to an inanimate object, such as describing a fire as “running”.<br> <br> An allegory is a story in which the characters, settings, or events have a deeper symbolic meaning such as George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”.<br> Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe<br> http://russiapedia.rt.com/basic-facts-about-russia/<br> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia<br> <br> // <br> http://www.audiogedprep.com<br> ©2015 Franz Amussen, All Rights Reserved<br> <br> If you are interested in learning to sail listen to the podcast "Sailing in the Mediterranean"<br> at <a href="http://www.medsailor.com" target="_blank">http://www.medsailor.com</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.medsailor.com/" target="_blank"></a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.medsailor.com/" target="_blank">http://www.medsailor.com/</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.audiogedprep.com" target="_blank">http://www.audiogedprep.com</a><br> <br>
