      1. Personification: Personification is the process of giving non-human things human traits (such as characteristics, feelings, and actions). For example,
        “Hog Butcher for the World,
        Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
        Player with Railroads and the Nation’s Freight Handler;
        Stormy, husky, brawling”
      2. Imagery: Imagery is the use of descriptive words to evoke one of the five senses. For example, “They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys.

        And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.
        And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger.”

      3. Simile: Simile is the use of like, as, or than to compare two dissimilar things. For example, “Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness”
