LITERARY DEVICES

ALLITERATION

• Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables of a phrase. Alliteration developed largely through poetry, in which it more narrowly refers to the repetition of a consonant in any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed.

• Example :

1. … as something inferior from as far away as twenty yards, whereas Senior Kashmir ‘got class’. (page 46, line 6)

2. ‘Dearest Darling Ruku’ (page 47, line 2 & 3)

ALLUSION

• Allusion is a figure of speech, in which one refers covertly or indirectly to an object or circumstance from an external context. It is left to the reader or hearer to make the connection, where the connection is detailed in depth by the author, it is preferable to call it "a reference".

1. With pleasure, Rukumani recognized her class-mate Johnny Chew, who was regarded with respect as the ‘walking economics bible’. (page 41, line 41 & 42)

HYPERBOLE

• Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.

1. You’re driving me to the grave ! (page 49, line 10)

METAPHOR• Metaphor is a person that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on

some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. It is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things without using either "like" or "as". It is not to be mistaken with a simile which does use "like" or "as" in comparisons. Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and cat.

1. Two sorrowful eyes looked steadily at Rukumani for signs of shame. (page 42, line 38)

ONOMATOPOEIA• The term ‘Onomatopoeia’ refers to words whose very sound is very close to the sound they are meant to depict. In other words, it refers to sound words whose pronunciation to the actual sound they represent.

Other example : huff, buzz, snap, boom, crash, pow, and quack.

1. Amy kept glancing up from her Economics at the hesitant Rukumani and at last grunted (page 46, line 46 & 47)

2. the men adding a grunt or two when their opinions were asked. (page 44, line 6)

REPETITION

• Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a sentence or a poetical line, with no particular placement of the words, in order to secure emphasis. This is such a common literary device that it is almost never even noted as a figure of speech.

1. far, far away (page 46, line 15)

SIMILE

• Simile is a rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that directly compares two objects through some connective word such as like, as, so, than, or many other verbs such as resembles.

1. as far away as twenty yards (page 46, line 6)

2. Rukumani’s mother left with as much dignity as she could muster (page 48, line 16)

3. Train journey boring like hell (page 41, line 40)
