What is "personification"?

Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are given to animals, objects, or abstract ideas. It helps make non-human things seem more relatable or vivid by describing them as if they can act, think, or feel like people. For example, saying "The wind whispered through the trees" gives the wind the human ability to whisper. Personification adds depth and emotion to writing by allowing readers to connect more deeply with the subject.

oxymóron

a figure of speech that combines two contradictory or contrasting terms to create a unique expression

What is an "oxymoron"?

An oxymoron is a figure of speech where two seemingly contradictory or opposing words are combined to create a paradoxical effect. This combination highlights a deeper or ironic meaning, showing a more complex truth. For example, the phrase "deafening silence" uses opposing terms to describe a profound, overwhelming quietness. Oxymorons are used to evoke thought, emphasize contrast, or create a striking effect in writing.

obraznost

the figurative language in literature by which the audience can form vivid mental images

What is "imagery"?

Imagery is a literary device that uses vivid and descriptive language to create mental pictures for the reader. It appeals to the senses, sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, to help the reader imagine the scene, character, or setting being described. For example, saying "The golden sunset bathed the mountains in a warm, amber glow" uses imagery to help the reader visualize the scene and feel the warmth of the sunset. Imagery enhances the reader's experience by making the descriptions more vivid and immersive.

rétorická otázka

a question that is not meant to be answered, but is instead used to make a point or to create emphasis or effect

What is a "rhetorical question"?

A rhetorical question is a question posed for effect or to make a point rather than to elicit an answer. It is often used to encourage the listener to consider a particular idea or perspective. For example, asking "Is the sky blue?" does not seek a response, as the answer is obvious. Rhetorical questions can be a powerful tool in speeches and writing, helping to engage the audience and provoke thought without requiring direct interaction. They emphasize the speaker's message and can enhance persuasion and emotional appeal.
