Literary devices are techniques used by writers to create depth and meaning to the messages they are trying to convey.



Knowing some of the more common literary devices can be important for understanding the things you read, and also for using in your own writing.



They appear all over different types of media: books, movies, plays and music.



Here are some of the most common literary devices used.

Alliteration 

Several words placed either side by side or close together which begin with the same letter or sound. 

The use of alliteration makes some words stand out more because the repetitive sound is very noticeable, especially when read aloud.
