Literary devices are devices that the writer use to convey his or her meaning of a story or poem to the reader. These literary devices include imaginery, dictation and prose techniques thus, the effects shown to the readers will be different and will have different effects on them.
For example, a simile like 'as playful as a kitten'. This phrase make me think that the kitten is really cute and nice and not one to be violent. Let's take a look at another example. A methaphor like 'The teacher thundered at the class'. This sentence tells me that the teacher is really angry at the students in the class, most probably because some students misbehaved. There is also one literary device which made the deepest impression for me, and that is the 'incomplete sentence' device. To say the truth, when I first saw this device, I was dumbfounded. I kept thinking 'why is this part of a literary device?' Even though till now, I still don't get it.
Lastly, i think that there are really lots of literary devices out there in the world and of course, there are many of them which I do not know of. But some of them are really interesting, like oxymoron!
